National Heritage Week

National Heritage Week 2010 takes place nationwide from 21st - 29th August 2010.

Every year millions of Europeans visit historical monuments and sites throughout  European Heritage Days. These are a joint initiatives in which over forty countries participate each year. The main aim of European Heritage Days are to promote awareness of our built, natural and cultural heritage and to promote Europe’s common cultural heritage.

In Ireland we celebrate European Heritage Days with a full week of events throughout Heritage Week, organised by local communities, with something to appeal for everyone.  Most activities are free of charge and range from fairs, night-time bat walks, wildlife tours and lectures to music recitals, historical re-enactments, and outdoor activities. Many heritage sites and stately homes will offer free admission or special concessions.

All events must be registered by the 31st of May for inclusion in the National Heritage Week Event Guide, which will be distributed in advance of the week throughout Ireland and Europe.
