Launch of Cork Heritage Open Day - 27^th August 2011.

Cork Heritage Open Day 2011 was launched by Lord Mayor Cllr. Terry Shannon on Monday 15th of August 2011 in the City Hall Council Chambers. 

The Lord Mayor said that Heritage Open Day provided a unique opportunity to visit some of the city's most noted buildings. He noted that for the second year running,  the Lord Mayor's office here in City Hall will be opened up and he is looking forward to informing those on the tour of the history of the office.  

The 2011 programme included many exciting and fun heritage related events, from exhibitions to guided tours, children's events and lectures. 

The event was organised by Cork City Council with support from the Heritage Council and media sponsorship from Cork's 96FM and the Evening Echo.  

This event is an action from the Cork City Heritage Plan 2007 - 2012.
