The Carrick-on-Shannon & District Historical Society presents a special event for National Heritage Week 2026, featuring an illustrated talk by local resident and author Alanna Moore. Scheduled for Saturday afternoon on August 15th, the presentation will be held at St. George’s Heritage & Visitor Centre.

Moore's talk will draw upon her 2025 book, "Legendary Leitrim," to examine various monuments and heritage sites across the county. A specific focus will be placed on sites that are at risk of being lost to neglect, development, or natural causes, as well as those that remain relatively unknown to the public.

The event is expected to last approximately one hour and is open to the public with free admission. Attendees can enjoy light refreshments, and a limited number of the author's published books will be available for purchase at the venue.
