Discover Ashbourne this June
We hope you’ve enjoyed the not one, but two, bank holidays in May. Hopefully you spent at least one of them in Ashbourne. 🤭
May saw Ashbourne’s first ever art trail, Artbourne, the Ashbourne triathlon and a visit from pop-star Olly Murs during his Soccer Aid endurance challenge, but if you missed out on Ashbourne in May, worry not. June is set to be a very busy month indeed.
