As part of Heritage Week and to coincide with the Knock Annual Novena, museum staff will host daily guided walking tours of the Knock Shrine grounds from 15–21 August.

This year’s tours will include a unique opportunity for visitors to enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access to areas of Knock Basilica that are not normally open to the public.

The tours will also include a visit to Knock Museum, where visitors can explore a special exhibition marking the 50th anniversary of Knock Basilica. One of the exhibition’s highlights is the original architect’s model of the Basilica.

Tours will begin each day at 11am at the Basilica and are free of charge and open to all.
