Festival

National Heritage Week, an initiative by the Heritage Council, celebrates all things heritage. It brings together communities, families, organisations, cultural institutions, academics and enthusiasts, to build awareness about the value of heritage and support its conservation.

Some amazing projects are being undertaken this year when National Heritage week runs from 14th to 22nd August. 

Details of Meath projects can be found here. Highlights include:

A day of free creativity for children and young people on Saturday, 12th June, 2021

Cruinniú na nÓg is Ireland’s national day of free creative activity for children and young people up to 18 years of age.

Over the past 3 years it has become a key date in Ireland’s cultural calendar, providing opportunities for Ireland’s 1.2 million children and young people, to be inquisitive and curious, to be inventive and innovative, and to fulfil a creative ambition or showcase an inner creative talent. In 2021, Cruinniú na nÓg will take place on Saturday 12th June.

From June to September 2021 the monastic town of Kells in Co.
