What’s on 2026

We are delighted to welcome you to a wonderful weekend in Wicklow Town, which kicks off at the Abbey Grounds (opposite the Grand Hotel, Wicklow Town) on Friday 10th July to Sunday 12th July.

 
What better way to eat local than sitting down with locals, banquet style, to a long table laden with
food grown, produced, and sourced not too far away from where you sit?

Friday - Outdoor Cinema

Kick off your Taste of Wicklow weekend with a magical evening at our Outdoor Cinema! Settle in under the open sky for not one, but two special screenings.

Earlier in the day (time and film to be confirmed), little movie lovers can enjoy a fun, family-friendly film – the perfect way to keep the kids entertained. As the sun sets, it’s time for the grown-ups to relax with an evening screening designed just for adults.

Bring along your blankets, low chairs, and your favourite people, and soak up the atmosphere for a cosy night of great film, fresh air, and festival vibes.

 
 

Kids Cinema 4pm

Both cinema films to be chosen by the public and will be announced on Monday May 11th.
