RTÉ to broadcast programme live from Lough Boora to celebrate Culture Night

RTÉ will host an exciting live television programme at Lough Boora later this month to mark Culture Night 2022.

It's a celebration of bog and the important role it has played in preserving our heritage and the story of our past, and the part it plays in protecting the planet for the future.

The RTÉ Concert Orchestra, plus guests, will provide the music and entertainment at Lough Boora for the live programme with other events from across the country also being highlighted.

In celebrating the bog, and particularly Lough Boora, RTE is inviting members of local communities to be audience guests on the evening. The numbers are limited by the size of the venue.

RTE have offered a limited number of tickets to those who are connected with the bog in Kilcormac either through having worked there themselves or having been part of a family which worked on the bog for generations.

Audience members must be available from approximately 5.30pm until 8pm on Friday, September 23.

The live programme starts at 7pm and finishes at 8pm.

If you are interested in this event, please submit your name and email address to Kilcormac Development Association by emailing: kdaoffice@eircom.net by Thursday, September 8.

Tickets are limited so they will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis.
