Heritage Week returns to libraries across Northern Ireland from 9 to 14 March with a rich programme of free talks, workshops, exhibitions and online events exploring the stories that shape where we live.

This year’s theme, Know Your Place, invites you to discover local history, language, archives, music, migration and family stories through engaging sessions led by historians, writers and heritage specialists. Whether you want to explore your family roots, learn something new about your area, or simply enjoy an interesting talk, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.

Events are taking place in libraries across Northern Ireland and online, making it easy to attend in person or from home. 

Browse the events to see what’s happening in your local library and book your place. Also, see the virtual events in second table below or our brochure.
