NATIONAL Heritage Week
takes place from Saturday, August 13 to Sunday, August

newcomers and enthusiasts in Inishowen to get involved
by organising an event or project. This year’s theme is
sustainable heritage and biodiversity. Online

“National Heritage Week is one of Ireland’s largest
annual events and this year sees a full return to
in-person events” said Joseph Gallagher, County Donegal
Heritage Officer. “Digital projects are also being
encouraged building on the success of on-line projects
and events that saw record-breaking participation across
the country last year. The Heritage Council will promote
National Heritage Week nationally and there are support
materials available when you register your event or
project on-line. There are training and information
webinars with useful tips for organising and promoting
your events and projects on the Heritage Week website.” |
