More Cork City buildings will throw open their doors to the public for heritage open day this year amid confirmation that the tradition is being expanded around country.
The much-loved Cork City Heritage Open Day event has been running for over 20 years as part of National Heritage Week, giving people a rare opportunity to explore buildings not normally open to the public — from courthouses to Masonic lodges.
