Eager to make an early start on preparations for next years Heritage Week? The dates have been confirmed as the 22nd to the 30th of August 2009!

Heritage Week 2008 was the most successful yet with over 1000 events organised nationwide. Events ranged from night time bat walks, music recitals, poetry readings, historical walks, talks and re-enactments to whale watching, medieval festivals, children's activities and wildlife and bio-diversity events. The Heritage Council is looking forwarding to building on this success in 2009 and hopes to encourage involvement from an even more diverse range of groups and organisations.

Keep your eyes and ears open early in the New Year, for news about Heritage Week event registration and new initiatives.

Heritage Week is co-ordinated in Ireland by the Heritage Council in conjunction with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, and is part of European Heritage Days, which is celebrated in over 40 countries across Europe.
