There are two distinct sides to Kilkenny that combine to make it one of the best cities to visit in the Republic of Ireland. Recently voted Top Tourism Town by Failte Ireland, the medieval capital of Ireland boasts a rich historical heritage immediately apparent in the very architecture of the Marble City, while it is also a thriving cosmopolitan centre for the arts, for music and design, and host of the popular Cat Laughs Festival every May.

It is this go-ahead cultural aspect of Kilkenny that is perfectly served by The Hub, “the premier multi-purpose venue in the south-east”. At the heart of The Hub lies a huge, flexible space that is a top-rated concert venue for the stars of the comedy festival and for major musical acts attracted to Kilkenny. And if you’ve never been to a foam party at The Hub, you can’t say you’ve ever really experienced a foam party!

The Hub is not only perfectly geared for entertainment but is also a centre for exhibitions and conferences, trade shows and product launches. If you’re intent on mixing in a little business with your pleasure in Kilkenny, The Hub is just part of the thriving Cillin Hill business and events complex.

With a highly rated restaurant, bars and retail units also on site on the outskirts of the city, you’ll need to check the venue website to find out what’s on when you’re in Kilkenny. Or contact The Hub in advance if you’re travelling as part of a group, as this is the place to organise an unforgettable party.
