As part of the 12th That Beats Banagher Festival, there will be a Heritage Walk on Sunday morning of the 27th of July  The theme of the walk will be Forges, Forgeries, Fakes and Fortifications in Banagher, 1620s- 2020s. The walk will look at pieces of ironwork along the Main Street from Saint Paul's Church to the Martello Tower. These will include railings, gates, commemorative plaques, a crane, remains of ironwork on Banagher Bridge, an iron memorial cross, iron grave surrounds, and a mortsafe, etc., etc. Former locations of forges along the street will be visited, and local blacksmiths remembered and their work celebrated.

Test your precision hurling skills by hitting a floating target on the Shannon!  Or if spectating is your thing, we would be delighted to welcome you.   You will be invited to puck a sliotar, aim,  and ideally get it into the goal net which will be floating in the river!  Contestants will be in one of four categories: adult male, adult female, junior male, and junior female. There will be a prize for the winners in each category.
