National Heritage Week 2024 is from the 17th to the 25th of August and is an initiative by the Heritage Council to celebrate all things heritage. Heritage Week brings together communities, families, organisations, cultural institutions, academics and enthusiasts, to raise awareness, promote and protect our local heritage.

 

Cork City Council and the Heritage Council acknowledges and supports the tremendous work that is carried out by local heritage groups and organisations across the city to promote the heritage and biodiversity of Cork City, on a voluntary basis during Heritage Week. To that end there is a new grant available for Heritage Week Events

 

This grant scheme is funded by the Heritage Council and Cork City Council and is an action from the Cork City Heritage and Biodiversity Plan 2021 – 2026 Heritage and Biodiversity Plan - Cork City Council which outlines the aims and objectives of Cork City Council with respect to Heritage and Biodiversity. Grant aid is distributed in accordance with these aims and objectives. For the purpose of these grant schemes Heritage is deemed to include Archaeology, Built, Natural and Cultural Heritage.
