Castles, Churches and Cobblestones: Built Heritage of Balbriggan

‘Rev. Fee won a canary and Miss O’ Fibilley, Loreto Convent, won a chest of tea’
What has this to do with the built heritage of Balbriggan? Both were prize winners at the much-anticipated and widely supported weeklong Balbriggan Bazaar and Fete held in August 1895. This had been organized by the women of Balbriggan as a fundraiser for the new additions to St Peter & Paul’s church.

Join us for this fascinating talk on the built heritage of Balbriggan where you will hear more about this bazaar and the history behind some of the most iconic buildings in Balbriggan, who built them, how they were funded and what stories they can tell us. Balbriggan is rich in its built heritage from the site of the 7th century church of St Molaga to the 21st century Lark Theatre and so much in between.

The talk will be presented by Dr. Cora McDonagh.

This is a free event. Booking recommended.
