To celebrate National Heritage Week 2025, Parade House and Garrison House at Elizabeth Fort will be open on Sunday 24th August from 12 noon to 4pm. This is a free event offering a self-guided tour of these charming houses, now restored as holiday accommodation and certainly one of the most special self-catering experiences in Cork City. Visitors can take a step back in time, admiring the houses and the fort,  while exploring the conservation work undertaken by Irish Landmark Trust.
