  Heritage Week is Around the Corner!
Heritage Week will take place from 19-27 August and we're making 2017 the year we help more people learn about, enjoy and help Ireland's nature.
We're exploring our natural heritage in surprising ways this Heritage Week. From archaeology to architecture, folklore to placenames, Irish culture is deeply rooted in nature.
Enjoy evening adventures for night owls, intriguingly tasty events for foodies or muddy family fun in the forest.
There is something for everyone to enjoy this Heritage Week. Best of all, most of the events are free of charge.
With over 2,000 events happening across Ireland it's your chance to explore the heritage that's all around you.
 Manor House Hotels Competition
Every Manor House Hotel has a fascinating historical story to tell and many will be staging special events to mark Heritage Week.
Stroll the Macreddin Mile near BrookLodge & Macreddin Village in Wicklow. Take a Medieval Kilkenny Rooftop Tour at the Pembroke Hotel or explore the architectural heritage of Markree Castle, Co. Sligo.
To celebrate Heritage Week, Manor House Hotels are offering one lucky winner and guest a fantastic two night b&b break, including dinner on one evening, in one of the 29 luxurious Manor House Hotels around Ireland.
 The Early Bird Catches the Worm
Some events need to be booked in advance, particularly guided tours or children's workshops where numbers are limited.
You can book your place directly with the event organisers. Book early to avoid disappointment!

KDHS AGM & LECTURE: THE FISHERFOLK OF KILRUSH BY CAROLINE WILSON
KDHS AGM & LECTURE: THE FISHERFOLK OF KILRUSH BY CAROLINE WILSON
The Annual General Meeting of Kilrush & District Historical Society will be held in the Teach Ceoil, Grace Street, Kilrush, on Tuesday 27 June at 7:30pm. It will be followed at 8pm by Caroline Wilson's lecture on "The Fisherfolk of Kilrush: A Study of Traditional Fishing Methods in Kilrush", based on her 2016 thesis for the MA in Local History at the University of Limerick.
The fisherfolk of Kilrush were an almost separate community within the town of Kilrush. The study examines their economic and social background and everyday lives as told through the living memories of various contributors. These memories date back to the early 1920s and are representative of a variety of members from the fishing community including several generations of fishermen, fish buyers and some of the children and grandchildren of the fisherfolk of Kilrush. Caroline's thesis examined the profile of the fisherman and his family, and the various gender roles associated with salmon fishing. The lecture will describe in detail the methods and skills required for fishing on this part of the river Shannon, until the ultimate demise of traditional fishing in 2007.
Caroline is the daughter and granddaughter of Kelly fishermen from Kilrush. The Kelly family fished drift and draft net licences for many generations. Growing up as a member of this fishing community, Caroline's childhood involved fishing processes such as repairing nets and preparation and sale of salmon.
KDHS lectures are free to members, EUR5 for non-members. New members are welcome. The annual membership fee (July-June) is EUR20 and renewals are due at the AGM.
