Plan your weekend
We have worked hard behind the scenes to create an unforgettable weekend here in Trim. For our very first Midsummer Jazz and Blues event we want to focus on our local town venues - the town's pubs, many of whom have been in the same family for several generations and who host regular music events. Creating fun and memorable events is what they do! And our hotels who play such a huge part in bringing visitors to Trim all year and who are fully behind supporting the Midsummer Jazz and Blues weekend. And our new cultural theatre and exhibition studio, the Swift Cultural Centre, is on board to entertain you with a superb line-up over the weekend. All of the events are within walking distance of the castle and we hope that you will enjoy the music on offer from venue to venue and on the street corners.
And of course not forgetting that you will need to nourish the body as well as the soul - Trim has an abundance of places to wine and dine - from the finest restaurants, to our many cosy coffee shops, takeaways, hotels and bars offering the best in pub grub!
