The ‘Athenry Experience’ is the brand name of a group dedicated to preserve, promote and exhibit all aspects of Athenry’s rich heritage, culture and unique place in Irish life, history and sport. The Athenry Experience Project Committee, in association with the local community, plan to complement the existing Athenry attractions by developing exhibition themes to be displayed to reflect the town’s rich history.
The role played by local people who mobilised under Liam Mellows in the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence that followed, in politics, sport and drama using image boards, interactive displays and audio-visual presentations.
To engage the young and children the presentations will use all the latest interactive technology available in a humorous and attractive way. For the culturally curious visitors and students of all ages the themes will be a souce for research and study.
