Town proudly recalls its famous faces

A HERITAGE town is rolling out a new “living history” programme aimed at highlighting some of the famous people connected to the area over the years.

A new free series of a Living History production gets under way in Lismore this weekend and will feature once-regular visitors to the town such as Fred and Adele Astaire, along with Sir Walter Raleigh, Robert Boyle and Lady Charlotte Boyle who are all connected to the local castle.

The 20-minute item will be performed daily for the month of August on an hourly basis between 12noon and 4pm daily at Lismore Heritage Centre and will be performed by the youth drama section of Lismore Dramatic Society.
