The Castle Yard
Nestled in the heart of Kilkenny City are the craft workshops of the Castle Yard. Built by the Duke of Ormonde over 200 years ago, the former stable yard of Kilkenny Castle is today home to a bustling, vibrant community. The Kilkenny Design Workshops have housed artisan Irish craft since 1963. Take a stroll through the double arch and see the makers at work in their studios. Here, you will find unique and authentic Irish craft to bring home as a memento of your visit to our medieval city.
