Minotel Club House - Kilkenny, Ireland 

Location

The medieval city of Kilkenny is well-known for its magnificent castle, one of the most famous landmarks of Ireland. It was built by the Normans in the 12th and 13th century. Ireland's second largest St. Canice's Cathedral was built in the 13th century and goes back to a monastic settlement founded in the 6th century. Many beautifully restored buildings and winding alleyways characterize the old town which is small and compact enough to explore on foot. Don't miss the highly visible public sculptures which are part of the Visual Arts and a great contrast to the historical architecture.

Kilkenny hosts a number of international festivals, such as the Carlsberg Kilkenny Rhythm'n'Roots Festival, the Murphy's Cat Laugh (stand up comedians & improvisers), the Kilkenny Arts Festival (theatre, dance, jazz, world music, traditional Irish, literature, film, young people's events), the KINAIR (Kilkenny International Air Rally) and, of course, the Kilkenny Festival of Racing in Gowran Park. The city also boasts a fine tradition of Irish pub-culture - conversation, music and story-telling. Thousands of young people flock to Kilkenny every weekend. The choice of entertainment is wide ranging from traditional Irish bars, unchanged for a century, to modern "super pubs" complete with discos, restaurants, satellite television and live acts. And while you're at it, why not try a Kilkenny ? This traditional Irish Ale is brewed by Guinness Group Ireland in the St Francis' Abbey Brewery now known as Smithwicks and situated in the heart of Kilkenny.
