HERITAGE

Buttevant Heritage Group is organising a conference: ‘Developing a Sustainable Heritage Tourism Sector in Small Irish Towns’ on Saturday, October 14, in Coláiste Mhuire, Buttevant. Support from the Irish Walled Town Network has made this possible.

Buttevant has enjoyed considerable investment in the recent past and is now central to a visitor’s heritage experience of North Cork. We wish to focus attention on the future and what we, as a small Irish town, can contribute to heritage tourism and rural development in North Cork.

This conference is an opportunity for heritage groups, community groups and rural businesses to meet and discuss the strengths and challenges they meet every day. We also want to focus on new ideas and solutions. The idea behind this conference has sparked great interest among heritage, community and business groups. There is also a buzz about the programme of speakers.

This is a free conference, however, places are limited and registration is essential. Please visit our website for further details: buttevantheritagetourismconference.
