CORRIB BEO TALK: Connecting Corrib Communities
March 26, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm GMT
Corrib Beo invites you to the third in a series of lunchtime talks organised by Corrib Beo in collaboration with Galway City Museum on Wednesday 26th March. The title of this months talk is Connecting Corrib Communities, a fascinating presentation exploring the deep-rooted fishing traditions and prehistoric past of Oughterard and The Claddagh. Discover how these communities, shaped by the waters of Lough Corrib and Galway Bay, share a rich heritage of resilience, skill, and connection. Through archaeology, history, and storytelling, we’ll bridge the past and present, strengthening the ties between these two iconic Corrib communities.There will also be small selection of replica archaeological artefacts, pertaining to the Mesolithic, on display at the presentation.
