FIERSOME WARRIORS, AREN’T they? This is Richard Humphreys and Finnian Mc Veigh in a (mock) jousting battle at the Athenry Walled Town celebration this weekend.
The boys were taking part in one of the 1,700+ events happening around the country all of this week to celebrate our National Heritage Week.
You can find out what’s happening in your area – and indeed register your own event – at heritageweek.ie. There are two free apps, one each for Android and iPhone.
The photographic team from Heritage Week have shared a number of images with us of some of the events that have already taken place. Fun times.
