Kilkenny City is definitely one of the finest arts centred places on our island. In June the city hosts the International Gospel Choir festival.This festival brings the best gospel choirs and musicians from all over the world to Ireland. This year, choirs from the US and Europe will gather in Kilkenny City and County and the South East for a feast of the best gospel music. However there are lots more sights to see in Kilkenny with its Castle, theatre, medieval cobbled streets and old world charm. Visit the 13th-century Black Abbey for a world of candlelit serenity, with the largest rosary window of its kind in Ireland.
The Museum is recognised as Ireland’s premier cultural institution and home to the greatest collections of Irish material heritage, culture and natural history in the world. Admission to the museum is free and there are numerous exhibitions talks and tours.
This beautiful glacial valley in County Wicklow is renowned as the place where Cistercian monks settled in the sixth century and the remains of the monastic priory including a round tower can still be seen today. Known locally as “the valley of the two lakes” , the locals also say it will still your mind, inspire your heart and fill your soul. The early Christian monastic settlement was founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century and from this developed the “Monastic City”.
