Kinsale Cultural & Heritage Society

Kinsale Cultural and Heritage Society was established in 2023, after a group of local historians had come together to mark the centenary  of the handing over of the town’s military barracks to the new Irish State. 

At its heart the society seeks to the tell the story of the town and the surrounding district as well as playing its part in protecting  the district’s heritage. 

A member of the Federation of Local History Societies of Ireland, the society is also a member of the West Cork History Societies Organisation.

The society hosts monthly meetings, field trips and  also organises other events.
