Hello May – Boyne Valley Welcomes the Sun!

- Posted on: 12/05/2025 - $itemValue.title

There’s a fresh buzz around Kells and the beautiful Boyne Valley this May as the sun starts to shine and we welcome the start of the outdoor season here at Headfort!

Our gardens are spruced up and ready for you to enjoy some of the simple pleasures of spring. Think iced coffees, sweet ice creams, and the perfect Afternoon Tea enjoyed outdoors among the flowers and sunshine. It’s time to slow down, sip something refreshing, and soak up the fresh air!

☀️ Outdoor Delights This May

As the weather warms up, we're excited to bring our Afternoon Tea experience to the garden. Relax under the open sky with a tower of sweet treats, finger sandwiches, and freshly brewed tea - or perhaps a glass of bubbles if you're feeling fancy!

We're also ready to serve:

🍦 Ice Cream Treats – Cool off with a selection of ice creams.

🥤 Iced Coffees – Perfect for a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up.
