Creative Ireland and Milestone Inventive (new national co-ordinators for Culture Night) have both initiated webinar series to support co-ordinators and venues in developing events conforming to new regulations. In the meantime, the Events team is focussed on planning, procurement and City Council programming. It is currently not planned to use the City Council campus on Culture Night 2021, as it may still be in use as a vaccination centre. Cultural Companions An audio documentary on ‘Tea and Ballet’ by Grey Heron Media on behalf of Creative Ire land was broadcast on Lyric FM
in mid-May. It was very positively received and is available to listen back to as episode 4 here: https://www.rte.ie/lyricfm/info/2021/0506/1214108-golden-opportunities-on-weekend-drive/
