Would you like to hear the sounds of Limerick city like never before?
Limerick City and County Council is inviting you on a special walk around Limerick to experience all the sounds of a city, not just the dominate ones.
Sound in our cities can be very contested.
The noise from roads and businesses can cause annoyance and at worst it can impact our health.
It is important that we have access to peaceful spaces where we live and work to unwind.
As part of Ireland's first annual Sustainable Development Goals Week, Limerick City and County Council is hosting an immersive soundwalk to explore everyday quiet areas along the River Shannon in Limerick City Centre.
A soundwalk is a participatory listening walk that focusses on the sounds in the environment.
The walk will talk place between 12.30pm and 2pm on Friday 23rd September 2022, with stopping points along the way.
All you need to do is download the Hush City app on Play Store or App Store and contribute to this global citizen science project.
The event is free but to participate you must register on Eventbrite. Under 18s are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
The meeting point will be at St. Michael's Rowing Club by the Riverside Walk, off O’Callaghan Strand, with the listening walk ending at St. Mary's Cathedral.
