National Heritage Week 2011 takes place from tomorrow (Saturday ) to Sunday August 28, with some 1,200 events taking place throughout the country.
“It’s a week long celebration of the fantastic natural and cultural heritage resources we have in the county, and it’s a great opportunity to get out and explore and enjoy your local heritage,” said Deirdre Cunningham, Mayo heritage officer.
