September’s here and the weekend’s shaping up nicely. A musical comedy takes its final bow, a food festival builds a whole day around one very local fruit, and Sunday brings body slams if that’s more your speed. Plenty to fill a Friday to Sunday, with a couple of quieter Meath dates to keep an eye on after. Here’s what’s on.

Making a weekend of Mullingar
If the apple festival tempts you west, Belvedere and Lough Ennell are worth more than an afternoon. A night in Mullingar turns a day trip into a proper Westmeath weekend, with plenty around for a lazy Sunday morning after. Find a place to stay near Mullingar
