Organise an Event or Project

National Heritage Week will take place from 16th - 24th August 2025. The Heritage Council invite all to get involved under the theme of "Exploring our Foundations"

This year with the huge interest in digital heritage projects, the Heritage Council invites individuals, communities and organisations to develop Heritage Week in-person events and/or digital projects.

Theme for National Heritage Week 2025

The theme of “Exploring Our Foundations” invites us to delve into the building blocks of our heritage; not just the structures, but the landscapes and cultural activities that have shaped us. Heritage isn’t just bricks and stones; it’s traditions, landscapes, skills, and stories that impact on us and our communities.
