National Heritage Week Cavan 2026

What to Expect

National Heritage Week is Ireland’s annual celebration of built, natural, and cultural heritage, and County Cavan hosts a range of free public events across the nine days. Confirmed Cavan events for 2026 include a Ceili at Cavan Adventure Centre featuring traditional music, sean-nos singing, poetry, and storytelling around turf fires with a BBQ of local produce. Cavan County Library is hosting “Mapping Cavan’s Past”, a guided session exploring historic map collections of Cavan’s streets and byroads. A family storytelling event retells the stories of Cavan men who served in World War 1, and “Echoes in Stone” covers historic graveyards and local studies.
