Picnic on the Green today at Old Kilcullen

Tug O War fun last year.

A reminder that today's Picnic on the Green organised by the Old Kilcullen Area Residents Association will feature a moderated discussion on historical aspects of the area, writes Brian Byrne. The Picnic will as usual be held on the commonage area below the hill and the event starts at 3pm, with food, fun, chat, and games for children.
Before that, you might like to visit the KWWSPCA Bazaar at Athgarvan and contribute to their animal welfare work.
Meanwhile, for all those who want to get to something beyond the town for the last day of National Heritage Week, there's still quite a selection of options.
Open Days at Castletown Gate House and Castletown Round House, and Copper Plate Printing and the Print Room at Castletown House in Celbridge. There's also the Peatlands Immersive Installation at The Stables in Castletown.
An Ink Making Workshop at Narraghmore. An Open Day at Batty Langley Lodge, Parsonstown. A Guided Walking Tour of Kildare Town. Visit the Tower of Allen, Hill of Allen. 
Celebrating the Decade of Centenaries 2023 on the Curragh. Tours of Leixlip Castle in association with Historic Houses of Ireland. Heritage Talks and Tours at Maynooth Castle
Lots still left to amaze and wonder at.
