National Heritage Week is a nine-day celebration of Ireland’s natural, built and cultural heritage. The main aim of the week is to promote awareness of our heritage, thereby encouraging its conservation and preservation. It is part of European Heritage Days, a joint initiative of the Council of Europe and the European Union. This year National Heritage Week will take place from 17th - 25th August and the theme is "Connections, Routes & Networks."
The Heritage Council coordinates and promotes National Heritage Week nationally and many organisations and individuals take part in National Heritage Week by organising projects and events around the country. The Heritage Council first began coordinating the week in 2005 and since then it has gone from strength to strength with over 1000 events and projects organised and shared on the National Heritage Week website last year.
