Bantry Historical is thrilled to announce we won the County Award in the Heritage Council’s Awards for our entry in National Heritage Week 2020
Cork County Award Winner
August
with thanks to the Heritage Council
Our project A Decade of Celebrating Heritage of Bantry was selected from a group of projects from County Cork shortlisted for this award, new for 2020.
BHAS is no stranger to awards! Five years ago, in 2015, when we initiated the Ellen Hutchins Festival to mark the bi-centenary of Ellen’s death, we were awarded the (national) Best Hidden Heritage Award.
Now the Ellen Hutchins Festival stands as an independent group. And today we congratulate the Festival on winning a national award – Water Heritage Award 2020 – for their project Explore the Shore: Seaweeds of inner Bantry Bay.
Heritage Week Winner
