Heritage Week 2024, which kicked off last Saturday and runs until Sunday 25 August, is showcasing the joy, diversity and accessibility that can be found within Kildare’s rich heritage.
The theme for 2024 is ‘Connections, Routes & Networks’, which encourages people to look at the roads, routes, traditions, species, and ecosystems all of which are connected.
Events taking place in Kildare include barge trips, biodiversity walks and exhibitions and tours for all ages. Full details are available at heritageweek.ie.
Most events are free, however participants are advised to confirm details of events in advance as some require booking. Children are welcome to most events, though young children should be accompanied by an adult.
Some events may be weather dependent and take place on uneven ground, so suitable dress and footwear is advised.
Kildare Co Council has compiled a listing of these and the many other events happening around the county. It’s available online at kildarecoco.ie.
