Events hosted throughout County Kildare
Each year many national and hundreds of local community organisations participate by organising events throughout Ireland. Many of the events that take place during the week are free and the programme highlights the abundance of great work that is carried out in all communities in Ireland to preserve and promote our natural, built and cultural heritage.
Whether it is nature and wildlife, folklore, or built heritage, National Heritage Week aims to deliver messages and events that are positive, engaging and relevant in people’s day to day lives. Any person or organisation can actively take part in the Week and organise an event which educates people and promotes an aspect of Irelands Heritage.
Events hosted throughout Co.Kildare are
hugely diverse in subject and many are organised by local communities and history groups
lending great authenticity and variety to the events. Examples of
events (to name but a few) include medieval fairs, night-time bat walks,
wildlife walks and lectures, classical music and poetry recitals,
traditional music sessions, storytelling, historical re-enactments, and
local history walks and talk.
With so many events happening this year, it's time to start planning your week now! Visit the National Heritage Week website (www.heritageweek.ie) to see what's on in Kildare, or browse the Events section of Kildare.ie and look under heritage.
