Kilkenny and the Creative Sector.
Kilkenny has long been recognised as the centre of Ireland’s design and craft sector. Kilkenny’s flourishing creative scene has led to world-leading creative companies setting up their operations here. Cartoon Saloon, the animation company behind Oscar-nominated ‘Song of the Sea’ and ‘The Secret of Kells’ is just one of many such companies to base themselves in Kilkenny. Here they share their story and that of newly formed Lighthouse Studios and talk about why Kilkenny is a great location for them.

Throwing shapes in Kilkenny: what’s new in ceramics
Throwing shapes in Kilkenny: what’s new in ceramics
Flux and reflux, wrote the novelist Thomas Hardy in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, “alternate and persist in everything under the sky”. He might have been penning a programme note for In Flux, the exhibition at the National Design & Craft Gallery in Kilkenny, in which the 12 graduates from the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland’s Centre of Excellence in Ceramics at Thomastown are presenting their project work. The show explores the idea of flux through the continuous evolution of shapes and des...

Travel with us to the Medieval Capital of Ireland - THE MEDIEVAL CITY OF KILKENNY.
Explore the famous 12th century Kilkenny Castle majestically located on the banks of the River Nore. Kilkenny is the craft capital of Ireland, visit the famous Kilkenny Art & Design Centre and appreciate the tradition of arts and crafts in Ireland. In the courtyard, you can see these craftspeople at work. Goldsmiths, Sculptors, Painters and many more, these craftsmen and women are some of the most recognised artists in Ireland.
Stroll around its narrow cobbled streets, why not visit Ireland’s oldest brewery Saint Frances Brewery founded in the 14th century. Rothe House a magnificent example of a wealthy silk merchants house built in 1594. The house contains multiple medieval exhibits with so many priceless Viking artefacts. The medieval gardens are kept to period growing examples of plants and vegetables of the era such as Gortahok cabbage and blood of the Boyne apples. Take lunch in any of the many bistros and artisan cafes.
While in Kilkenny City you have the option of combining into your visit a trip to the historical Dunmore Caves. It is a place where myth & history blend. Dunmore is the site of the worst Viking massacre in Irish history (928AD). Explore the cave and its exhibits which are packed with many treasures and archaeological finds. The guides make it a magical experience, particularly when on some occasions there is a live tin whistle rendition in the bowels of the cave. The visit to the caves is entirely your choice on the day, the price of which is included in the ticket.
After lunch, we travel through the county of Carlow into the Wild and Rugged Wicklow Mountains. The landscape will change from lush green rich pasture with gentle valleys to the dramatic, the breathtaking ancient glacial valleys of the Wicklow Gap. Feast your eyes on the spectacular countryside and its scenic treasures, mountains, native plants and wildlife (A photographer’s dream).
The Wicklow Gap and its scenery is the most varied on the island of Ireland. The journey through the mountains brings you through the countryside where famous movies such as Brave Heart, and PS I Love You were filmed. Enjoy a 15 minute stop for a stroll and photographic opportunities on top of the Wicklow Mountains overlooking the glens and valleys of County Wicklow.
Continuing over the Mountains we arrive at the world-famous heritage site of Glendalough (Glen of two lakes). This Monastic site dates from 600 AD. It was the centre of learning and from where Christianity was re-introduced to northern and central Europe after what is known as the dark ages. Have you heard of “Ireland, land of Saints and Scholars”? Well, Glendalough is why. Saint Kevin founded his monastery in this valley and today much of the ancient architecture remains such as St Kevin’s Kitchen, Church and Round Tower. The tower was constructed as shelter for the Monks and their Latin Biblical manuscripts from the barbarous marauding Vikings.
The glen of the two lakes in the Irish language is Glendalough. The lower lake takes under an hour to walk and the upper just over an hour. Departing Glendalough we journey through the highest village in Ireland known as Roundwood, see the Sugarloaf Mountains which prior to the ice age were higher than the Alps, the Powerscourt Estate and the Glen of Imaal just before reaching Kilnacanogue. Sit back and be entertained by our tour guide with some story-telling and traditional Irish music. We arrive back in Dublin city at approximately 6pm. Now it’s time to enjoy what Dublin city has to offer!

Kilkenny Ireland
Kilkenny Ireland (2003).
Kilkenny (Irish: Cill Chainnigh, meaning church of Cainnech) is a city located in south-east part of Ireland and the county town of County Kilkenny. It is on both banks of the River Nore in the province of Leinster. The city is administered by a Borough Council and a Mayor which is a level below that of city council in the Local government of the state although the Local Government Act 2001 allows for the continued use of the description city. The borough has a population of 8,711, however the majority of the population live outside the borough boundary, the 2011 Irish Census gives the total population of the Borough & Environs as 24,423.
Kilkenny is a popular tourist destination. In 2009 the City of Kilkenny celebrated its 400th year since the granting of city status in 1609. Kilkenny's heritage is evident in the city and environs including the historic buildings such as Kilkenny Castle, St. Canice's Cathedral and round tower, Rothe House, Shee Alms House, Black Abbey, St. Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny Town Hall, St. Francis Abbey, Grace's Castle, and St. John's Priory. Kilkenny is regarded for its culture with craft and design workshops, the Watergate Theatre, public gardens and museums. Annual events include Kilkenny Art Festival, the Cat Laughs comedy festival and music at the Rhythm and Roots festival and the Source concert. It is a popular base to explore the surrounding towns, villages and countryside. Controversy exists at the moment around the Kilkenny Central Access Scheme which is a road proposed to be built through the city centre.
Kilkenny began with an early sixth century ecclesiastical foundation within the kingdom of Ossory. Following Norman invasion of Ireland, Kilkenny Castle and a series of walls were built to protect the burghers of what became a Norman merchant town. William Marshall, Lord of Leinster, gave Kilkenny a charter as a town in 1207. By the late thirteenth century Kilkenny was under Norman-Irish control. The Statutes of Kilkenny passed at Kilkenny in 1367, aimed to curb the decline of the Hiberno-Norman Lordship of Ireland. In 1609 King James I of England granted Kilkenny a Royal Charter giving it the status of a city. Following the Rebellion of 1641, the Irish Catholic Confederation, also known as the Confederation of Kilkenny, was based in Kilkenny and lasted until the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in 1649. Kilkenny was a famous brewing centre from the late seventeenth century. In the late twentieth century Kilkenny is a tourist and creative centre.
The Heritage Council offices are located at Church Lane. The seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ossory is at St. Mary's Cathedral and the Church of Ireland Bishop of Cashel and Ossory is at St. Canice's Cathedral. Nearby larger cities include Waterford 45 kilometres (28 mi) south-southeast, Limerick 93 kilometres (58 mi) west and Dublin 101 kilometres (63 mi) northeast.
