National Heritage Week – 15th to 23rd August

National Heritage Week is a time each year when we are encouraged to celebrate Ireland’s cultural, natural and physical heritage.

This year’s theme, Heritage at Risk, invites individuals and communities to consider the elements of our heritage that are vulnerable or under threat – from historic buildings and archaeological sites to natural habitats, traditional skills, folklore, language and ways of life. Through guided walks, hands on workshops, talks, performances and heritage trails, events will highlight not only the richness of local heritage, but the importance of protecting and sustaining it for future generations.

Cork County Libraries will be celebrating National Heritage Week with free talks, workshops, and exhibitions.
