Heritage Week 2020

Heritage Week 2020

This year Ireland’s Heritage Week will happen from 15 - 23 August. Normally, activities would be taking place in the villages and towns, drawing participants from nearby regions. This year, all activities will be virtual and digital, taking place via the Heritage Week website: www.heritageweek.ie. There are all types of virtual tours, talks, walks, tutorials and workshops.

  • Heritage on your doorstep.

  • Relearning skills from our heritage.

  • The heritage of education
