Plan Your Visit to Limavady

Limavady's scenery is a permanent fixture but you may want to time your visit to coincide with one of the cultural events and festivities on the town's calendar.

Each spring the Danny Boy Festival celebrates Limavady's close association with the ballad of the same name, sung as it was to the tune of Londonderry Air. The festival, usually held in May, features a range of musical acts drawn from the traditions of Irish folk, as well as acting as a showcase for local artists. The main venue used for the festival is the Roe Valley Arts and Culture Centre in Limavady town centre.

Also in May the town hosts a popular art exhibition, while the Roe Valley Folk Festival is held in October. In August the charming Ballymully Cottage Farm on the outskirts of Limavady plays host to the Stendhal Festival of Art, which claims to be Ireland's "best small festival".
