Father Ted Quiz at Drogheda Library

What to Expect

Drogheda Library holds a Father Ted quiz on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 6:30pm. It is an adults-only evening, played in teams of three or four, and the library has marked booking as essential, taken at the issue desk. There is no admission charge listed, in line with the rest of the library service’s public programme, but the team format means places go in blocks rather than singly, so put a team together before you book.

Three series and a Christmas special is not a lot of material, which is exactly why a Father Ted quiz works. Everyone who grew up in Ireland in the late nineties has the same lines in their head, and the fun of it is watching a table full of adults argue about the name of Mrs Doyle’s tea or which priest said what at the Golden Cleric awards. Expect rounds on quotes, characters, episodes and the more obscure details that separate the casual viewer from the people who can recite the “small, far away” scene. Library quizzes in Louth have become a regular fixture for adult audiences, running alongside the book clubs, creative writing groups and eServices sessions that fill the branch calendars, and they draw a different crowd than a pub quiz does. Arrive a few minutes early to get your team settled.

Getting There

Drogheda Library is on Stockwell Lane, just off Fair Street in the centre of town and a short walk uphill from West Street. Drogheda MacBride rail station on the Dublin to Belfast line is roughly fifteen minutes on foot across the Boyne, and the bus station on Donore Road is closer. Drivers coming off the M1 should follow the town centre signs; Scotch Hall and the surface car parks around Laurence Street and Fair Street are the practical options, and evening metering has usually finished by 6:30pm.
