Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin: Hearth to Hearth through Galway City is a guided cultural walk exploring the hearth as an architectural and social space at the heart of Galway’s civic and cultural life.
Moving through a series of historic locations in Galway City, the walk considers the fireplace not simply as an architectural feature, but as a gathering place - a space around which stories are shared, ideas debated, relationships formed and communities sustained.
The route connects Tigh Neachtain, Galway Arts Centre, Nora Barnacle’s House Museum and The Kings Head, drawing out stories associated with politics, literature, creativity, domestic life and belonging.
Responding to Architecture at the Edge’s 2026 theme Le Chéile, the walk invites participants to consider the spaces that bring us together and to reflect on their own understanding of home, community and the enduring idea of the hearth.
