Two days to go to Heritage Week

We launched our new blog on Tuesday and today we see that our first YouTube video of our Virtual Tour has already been watched 129 times! A great start for our tour, anyone who has ever participated in one of our in person events will know the traffic congestion that would have caused (even with car pooling in the pre-covid days)

Here is the video again if you missed it

We visit the site of the last commercial mine that was worked in the coalfield, and our guide for the week Michael 'King' Cleere introduces himself.





Look up https://www.heritageweek.ie/projects to see information on both online and in person events all around the country, this is our project information from the Heritage Week site

And these are the registered Tipperary projects, we are in good company!

Hope you will check out our blog daily all through Heritage Week and check the registered projects for more events that might interest you.....  As we post this there are 642 projects to choose from:  This year National heritage Week is about getting as many people to enjoy heritage as possible, so as they say, OPEN THE DOOR TO HERITAGE.

As we post this there are 642 projects registered to choose from
