Cork Heritage Open Day is a unique event, which was held on Saturday, 27th August 2011, celebrating the amazing architecture and history of the Built Heritage in Cork City.

Organised by Cork City Council, Cork Heritage Open Day celebrates Ireland’s architecture and heritage by enabling free access to properties of interest to the public that are either not usually open to the public, or would normally charge an entrance fee. 

This year there were 38 buildings opening their doors to the public free of charge and there were also 34 free themed events happening throughout the day all over the city! These included a Medieval Re-enactment, a Children’s Treasure Trail with prizes sponsored by the Everyman Palace Theatre and the Clarion Hotel, walking tours, venue tours, photographic & memorabilia exhibitions, talks, demonstrations, and much, much more! There was something of interest for everyone and a fun and entertaining day was had by all!
