Old Cork Waterworks News

The Discover Cork: Schools’ Heritage Project 2022 launches in its 21st year and is open to schools in Cork City. Funded by Cork City Council, the Project is an initiative of the Cork City Heritage Plan.

For one day only, over 30 of Cork’s landmark buildings will open their doors to the public inviting them to explore their rich and vibrant history.

Throughout the summer, families can discover Cork’s hidden treasures and play in galleries, museums, cultural attractions and outdoor spaces throughout the city.  The trail, which includes cannon spotting, making floatable rafts, searching for golden eagles and loot is designed to encourage young people to explore culture in an imaginative and playful way!
