Isabell Smyth - National Heritage Week

The annual National Heritage Week, which starts this Saturday, encourages families to get out of their homes and explore our natural, cultural and built heritage. Co-ordinated by the Heritage Council, the diversity of events is striking, from rambles in the wild and pond-dipping in the bog to medieval fairs and battle re-enactments

As this is the 20th anniversary of the UN International Year of the Family, the theme of National Heritage Week 2014 is “Family . . . generations exploring heritage togetherâ€.

Isabell Smyth speaks to Wendy about the origins of the week and the events making up this year’s event
