Laois Heritage Society will host ‘A Day in the Life of a Regency Lady’ : a Costumed Talk by Dr Melissa Shiels on Thursday 23 October at 8pm in the Midland Park Hotel, Portlaoise.

LAOIS Heritage Society launched its 11th issue of its local history journal in the Midland Park Hotel recently. The launch was held as part of the annual Laois Heritage Seminar which was also organised by Laois Heritage Office.

THERE was a record attendance at an evening of music, photographs and history in Portlaoise Library when local historian John Dunne gave an interesting presentation on Hidden Portlaoise during Heritage Week.
