Join us in 2025 as we remember the settler families of Ballyhoura Country who set sail from Cobh in 1825 to Ontario- establishing a new life in what we know today as Peterborough in Canada.
Going from one complex economic and political crisis to another, their stories of resilience and courage survive through their diaspora worldwide.
- Step back in time and experience the newly commissioned “1825: The Robinson Experiment” with Callback Theatre, premiering for this week long event.
- Connect with the homes of the settlers through Meet and Greets in the settler communities homeland across the Ballyhoura area of North Cork and Limerick.
- Explore, touch and taste the communities of origin through heritage walks, talks and tours
- Listen to traditional Irish Music, Storytelling and dance.
- A magical remembrance concert and hybrid one day conference in Saint George's Arts and Heritage Centre in Mitchelstown.
Take part in a very special event which will be held to create a forever memorial remembering our settler families and their “roots” in the Ballyhoura region.
