Group Experiences in Kilkenny

Squeeze 800 years of fascinating Irish history into one afternoon of cultural exploration at Kilkenny's Medieval Mile Museum, and discover the incredible remnants and relics of ancient Ireland in a bright, modern museum. Marvel at well-preserved Renaissance-style tombs and see history that is literally carved into stone. High-quality audio guides reveal the secrets of each ornate high cross, as well as the archaeological artefacts of the wealthy merchants and kings of medieval Ireland.

Harvested from the land and seasoned by Irish history, Smithwick’s has been brewed here in Ireland since 1710. Enjoy your favourite Smithwick’s Ale, while one of the local staff explains what makes it so unique, makes this one of the most enjoyable tours in Ireland. Surviving, adapting and thriving, the Smithwick’s family had much to offer the city of Kilkenny. Experiencing the story for yourself is one of the best things to do in Ireland's Ancient East.
