Fascinating photo exhibition this weekend
The Tinryland photo exhibition is part of Heritage Week
TO MARK National Heritage Week and in tandem with Tinryland’s Heritage Audio Guide project, a photographic exhibition in the local hall is all set to capture the area’s rich history, heritage and all strands of community past and present.
Tinryland Past and Present photographic exhibition will run on Friday 23 August from 7.30pm to 9pm, on Saturday 24 August from 2pm to 8pm and Sunday 25 August from 10.30am to 6.30pm in Tinryland Parish Hall. The exhibition features items recorded down through the years in the annual parish magazine Reaching Out and other local publications.
It will cover Tinryland’s heritage, encompassing the history of its churches, graveyards, school, parish hall, all sports, ICA, arts and music, residential estates, businesses and all strands of life in the community. Tracing the role of its people in the 1798 Rebellion and the Famine years, to modern everyday life, the exhibition will be all-embracing, giving also a flavour of the Neolithic burial find at Linkardstown, to the early Medieval cross at Killogan, to the famed monastic settlement of Rath Melsigi, where St Willibrord once studied, to the Clonmelsh burial site of Walt Disney’s ancestor and to the Ballybar Racecourse – once Ireland’s Cheltenham.
All are welcome to come to the exhibition and share in Tinryland’s heritage, history, culture and community. The exhibition is free of charge.
