Kinsale: Shave the Head to Save the Head

Sponsored Head-Shave for Kinsale Head campaign

“SHAVE THE HEAD TO SAVE THE HEAD”

Another People’s Picnic will be held at the Old Head of Kinsale this Sunday (31st August) to highlight the campaign to restore public access to the historic headland.

This weekend’s event will feature a Sponsored Head and Face Shave to raise funds for the Free the Old Head Campaign.

Old Head activist Warren Pickles will have his ample head of hair and his beard shaved off outside the gates of the Old Head Golflinks to highlight the denial of right of way to the Old Head of Kinsale and to help to finance the ongoing campaign.

In addition the usual People’s Picnic will be held with a barbeque, music and many colourful flags and banners. People are invited to bring along their own picnic as well as musical instruments, etc. to add to the colourful and fun nature of the event.

The campaign will, of course, re-state its message that the Old Head of Kinsale has traditionally being enjoyed by people from all walks of life and all parts of Ireland and beyond and demand that it should be accessible by the general public.

As usual a special Free the Old Head bus will run from Cork City centre, leaving from outside Cork Opera House at 12.30pm. The event will kick off at the Old Head around 2.30pm.
