Heritage Week - Events in Sligo

From the 24th – 31st August 2008, Heritage Week will be celebrated in Sligo, with many events happening throughout the county. From guided walks, lectures, historical re-enactments, open days at historic houses, to music and craic, there’s something of interest for everyone during Heritage Week 2008. An events brochure has been produced by the Sligo Heritage Office in partnership with the local community and event organisers across the county, which highlights all the events taking place in Sligo during Heritage Week 2008. The Event Guide is widely available at public venues throughout the county and the full list and details of events can be viewed at www.heritageweek.ie

Heritage Week is part of European Heritage Days and is a chance for people across Europe to celebrate their rich and varied heritage through special events and activities. Nationally, Heritage Week is co-ordinated by The Heritage Council and is supported by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

Heritage Week is an opportunity for communities to celebrate our shared heritage and this is highlighted through the many community and heritage groups who have organised events for Heritage Week in Sligo. ‘Sligo, its our heritage – make it yours’ – that’s the message from the Heritage Office of Sligo County Council ahead of Heritage Week 2008, as there are so many opportunities this year for everyone to get involved in celebrating Sligo’s unique heritage.

Full details of Heritage Week events taking place in Sligo can be accessed through www.heritageweek.ie or www.sligococo.ie/services/heritage/newsandevents/. All events are free except where indicated and for some events booking may be required due to limited capacity.

Heritage Week in Sligo is co-ordinated by the Heritage Office, Sligo County Council in partnership with the local community.
