GALWAY CIVIC TRUST - DUCHAS NA GAILLIMHE

Galway Civic Trust / Dúchas na Gaillimhe is a community-driven heritage organisation dedicated to protecting and enhancing Galway's natural, built and cultural assets. By curating research, advocacy and public programmes, the Trust ensures that the city's unique stories - from the medieval streets to the River Corrib's waterways - are preserved for present and future generations.

The Trust's flagship offering is a series of free, weekly walking tours that launch from the historic Hall of the Red Earl, with optional audio guides and a lively Facebook group for participants. In addition to guided tours, Galway Civic Trust organises a vibrant calendar of events - art exhibitions, craft workshops, heritage festivals and specialist talks - all designed to engage locals and visitors alike with Galway's living history. Through these activities, the organisation serves anyone with an interest in the city's past, fostering a deeper connection to the cultural landscape of Galway.
