Heritage Week 2024 is dedicated to creating awareness and fostering appreciation for the built, natural, oral, and cultural heritage that defines our county. Through a wide range of events, the week seeks to engage the community in the conservation, preservation, and enjoyment of these invaluable assets.

Clare County Council is delighted to co-ordinate the Heritage Week events across the county, bringing together various community groups and organisations dedicated to preserving Clare’s unique heritage. The Council acknowledges the tremendous contributions made by these groups and individuals, whose efforts ensure that the stories, traditions, and historical landmarks of Clare continue to be cherished and passed on to future generations.

Throughout the week, a diverse array of activities and events will be available, highlighting the county’s deep historical roots and vibrant cultural life. From guided tours and historical talks to hands-on workshops and exhibitions, there is something for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

Clare County Council extends its gratitude to all participants and organisers who have made Heritage Week 2024 possible. Their dedication and passion for heritage play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the cultural richness of County Clare.
