LPOF is delighted to be participating in National Heritage Week (19th-27th August) again this year, in collaboration with Limerick Smarter Travel. Our event, “Pedal Power”, invites participants to follow a riverside trail of churches and organs around Limerick by bike.
This is a family friendly tour with a difference. You can use the City (Coca Cola) Bike Scheme, join the trail on foot, bring your own bike or travel by other means. Visit some of Limerick’s great churches along the way and hear the historic organs. Each instrument is unique to the building that houses it. See the city like you’ve possibly never seen it before!
