'Capers' heritage event planned
Heritage Week 2007 will run from 25 August-2 September. A range of activities have been organised across the county to coincide with National Heritage week.
In Kilcullen we're proposing to hold a 'Capers Late Late Show' in the Heritage Centre to recall some of that extraordinary period in Kilcullen's social history.
As planned at the moment it will incorporate archive audio and photographic material, as well as the live recollections of people who were involved.
If you have any Capers stories or memorabilia yourself, Nessa Dunlea of the Kilcullen Heritage Group would be delighted to hear from you.
Meantime, around the county itself The County Kildare Archaeological Society have organised an illustrated lecture on the Grey Abbey, Kildare, by Archaeoloist Emer Dennehy, which will take place on 2 September in the Kildare Shopping Village.
Other events taking place around the county during the week include free guided tours of Maynooth Castle, daily radio talks about Kildare history and heritage on KFM, and an illustrated talk on Leixlip by John Colgan, author of 'Leixlip, County Kildare' which will take place in Leixlip Community Library on 30 August.
