Ballymote Heritage Group, a voluntary non-profit making organisation, was founded on 30 May 1984 by a small group of individuals and is now more than 35 years in existence Since that date, the Group has met on a monthly basis and continues to devote itself to its stated aim of raising awareness of all matters of heritage and in particular promoting knowledge of and interest in all aspects of local history, archaeology, culture and folklore. The group has organised a Heritage Weekend of events each year since 1990 and publishes a magazine “The Corran Herald” annually to coincide with the Heritage Weekend. The Group now has a membership of up to 20 people, all of whom work on a voluntary basis. The group relies for its income on membership fees, a small amount of sponsorship, entry fees to lectures, outings, and proceeds from the sale of the Corran Herald.
