International Lighthouse Weekend

By Sue Clark on Jun 8, 2009 in Events Print This Post Print This Post

England, Scotland and Wales Lighthouses

The eighth International Lighthouse Weekend intends to raise the profile of lighthouses, lightvessels and other navigational aids, promoting our maritime heritage.

Many lighthouses and places of associated interest will be open to the public, and there will be special events at lighthouses and lightvessels both at home and abroad.

There will be radio and press publicity before the event. Trusts and Friends groups will be able to use this day to raise awareness of their work and involvement in the preservation of the history of lightkeeping.

Complete list of those participating (updated as more join) is at www.alk.org.uk/events/ild09.html

Also on this weekend, amateur radio operators around the world will be transmitting from lighthouses with the objective of fostering international relations. See www.illw.net/2009_list.htm for the latest list of participants.
