St Patrick's festivities

Ever since I began this work in September 2011 it made sense to culminate in a celebration event as part of  Leicester's St. Patrick's festivities.

I am checking and double checking, proof reading and editing: still collecting photos and following up contacts. But of course, this isn't the end; it's an opportunity for the Irish in Leicester to see their story in print, on DVD and on the web. It's the point at which those stories get out there for all to read and to enjoy and it's also the time for everyone else to get involved.

Read the stories, check out the photos and dive into the map. Tell us your story......

Why did your family come over? 

When did they come over to Leicester?

Where did you and your family live?

If you'd like to be involved contact us on 0116 276 9186 or pop in to: 

The Emerald Centre, Gipsy Lane, Leicester. LE5 OTB

We're now also on Twitter: follow me on  @irishleicester or join The Irish in Leicester group on Facebook.
