Westport Civic Trust

The Westport Civic Trust aims to promote and initiate the preservation and protection, renewal and improvement of the buildings and other features of the natural, historical, cultural, scientific and architectural interest of the area, for the benefit of the community.

Westport Civic Trust is committed to raising community awareness about the natural, historical and architectural heritage of the west Mayo region, promoting good planning standards as well as providing educational lectures and excursions for members. The public lecture programme runs a series of monthly evening talks during the autumn, winter and spring in the Plaza hotel. Talks are free to members of the Civic Trust. Non-members are welcome for a small cover charge and can sign up as members on lecture nights.
