Travel
Below you’ll find details about parking, shuttles, and hotel recommendations near the hotel.
Getting there
WEDDING VENUE - SLANE CASTLE
Slane Castle Demesne, Slane, Co.Meath C15XP83
NEAREST AIRPORT - DUBLIN AIRPORT (DUB)
Roughly a 40-minute drive / taxi from the castle.
DISTANCE FROM DUBLIN CITY CENTER - 60 km / 37 miles north
We plan on setting up a roundtrip coach / shuttle service of some kind. More details to come
CAR RENTALS / TAXIS
Uber - We all know it. We bow to their global domination.
FreeNow - Lyft is not available in Ireland but they do own this, the “#1 taxi app in Ireland”.
Bolt - Another taxi app with a large presence throughout Europe. Maybe you’ll get a new member discount? Tell them Billy sent you.
GoCar - For those that wish to drive themselves for the day, GoCar is basically ZipCar in Ireland. Otherwise, all of your standard car rental agencies are available at Dublin Airport. Parking will be available at the castle.
If you’re planning on drinking with us, please steer clear of driving yourself. We will take your keys and throw them in the River Boyne.
Where to stay
We will update with room blocks shortly! For now, feel free to peruse some of these suggestions:
Slane Village
Slane itself is a small village north of Dublin with a population of under 2,000 people. There aren’t a ton of options in the immediate vicinity but there are a few bed and breakfasts as well as a very cool glamping site that we are working with the venue on and we will provide more information as soon as we’re able.
Drogheda
(DRAW-hed-ah) for everyone that’s about to butcher the name of this lovely town in County Louth. The nearest big town to the castle with more hotel options, about 10-15 minutes away from the castle. Got a pub with a pretty sweet name too.
Dublin
Ever heard of it? It’s the place Americans go to get drunk every March and let me tell you, the Irish really “love” when you do that.
If you’re staying for an extended period of time, we certainly recommend calling Dublin home because it has everything you could possibly want. Good food, great music at every turn, and a big Spike for some reason? Cool though…
As mentioned in the Getting There section, we’re hoping to set up some sort of roundtrip shuttle from the center of town and will keep you informed.
