Islands of Ireland: Islands of our heritage

As an introduction to our islands, this heritage week programme has a selection of lovely islands and a wide range of activities to entice you. From waltzing on Scattery Island, Co Clare or learning about boatbuilding on Bere Island there are a multitude of events taking place over the week.

Here are the main events that are directly linked to islands. Note that some events are totally free; in others ferry trips must be paid. Where events are during part of the day, the times are given, otherwise events take place over a full day.
