Laois, that is steeped in centuries of history; from monks, monasteries and Vikings, to the famine, the War of Independence and beyond. The Annals of the Four Masters, records that in 919, a monastic settlement at Timahoe, Co. Laois, was raided by the Vikings. Our event is all about sharing the story of a village in Co.

In 2019 we held our first Timahoe Heritage Festival to mark the 1100 year anniversary of this event. On May 31st & June 1st, 2025, we are again remembering the Viking raid, along with many other aspects of our past. Highlighting our history and heritage in a fun, interactive, & family friendly festival, is so important to us....
