National Heritage Week, Ireland’s celebration of our natural, built and cultural heritage, takes place from 16th – 24th August.

This year we are celebrating 20 years of National Heritage Week and the theme is Exploring our Foundations.

We are encouraging groups with an interest in biodiversity and natural history or a project to showcase, to host an event in Co. Sligo!

Register your event HERE where it will be added to the online Heritage Week calendar and Sligo Heritage Office calendar of events.

The Heritage Week website is packed full of event ideas, organisers guide, branded resources like posters and social media posts, to help advertise your event.

Events should be free and open to the public, however numbers may need to be limited for some events. Groups must have their own insurance in place.
