KILKENNY CASTLE

Located in the heart of Kilkenny City and surrounded by 50 acres of landscaped parkland, Kilkenny Castle offers a majestic and historic setting for a wide range of events. This iconic 12th-century castle, carefully restored and maintained, combines medieval grandeur with flexible, modern event facilities.

The Parade Tower, one of the castle’s most prominent event spaces, is housed within two original medieval towers. With high ceilings, stone walls, and a tiered layout, it accommodates up to 120 guests in theatre or banquet style. The space is ideal for conferences, gala dinners, lectures, and receptions, with adjacent areas for registration and breakout sessions.

For more intimate gatherings, the Duchess Boardroom offers a refined Victorian setting with ornate detailing and garden views, perfect for board meetings, private dining, or civil ceremonies for up to 25 guests. Additional rooms, such as the Ormonde Boardroom and the Medieval Room, provide character-rich environments for smaller meetings or receptions.

The castle also features the elegant Picture Gallery, an expansive hall adorned with 19th-century artwork and high vaulted ceilings—ideal for cultural events or pre-dinner drinks.

With on-site support, Wi-Fi, and a unique historical backdrop, Kilkenny Castle offers an unforgettable venue experience that combines atmosphere, heritage, and professionalism.
