This free lecture series will provide a chronological history centring on one aspect of Cork’s Built Heritage: the Fortifications of Cork City and County, over a series of one-hour lectures held at the Cork City Library from August to December 2015. Our ancestors have been defending and protecting Cork city and environs in various forms from the prehistoric hillforts of the Bronze Age up to the 18th-century star-shaped fortifications. The line-up of speakers includes researchers from the Department of Archaeology in UCC, the OPW, commercial archaeologists and local independent scholars who will focus on the historical and archaeological evidence while also providing an interesting background of the social history, heritage, and modern-day conservation of these significant sites.

Michael Morpurgo is one of our best-loved and most talented writers for young people. His recent novel, Listen to the Moon, has a strong link to Co. Cork as it was inspired by an account he read of the sinking of the Lusitania off the Old Head of Kinsale in 1915. Don’t miss this chance to come along and hear him speak about his life and writing, and what it was about the Lusitania story that struck such a chord.
Michael is perhaps best known for his novel War Horse, which was adapted for stage by the National Theatre in London and was subsequently staged to great acclaim in cities across the world from Dublin to New York to Beijing. It has also been adapted for cinema by Steven Spielberg.
This will be a fascinating talk for all the family from ages 8 up and will include time for questions. There will be a bookstall on the night.
