Nestled in the peaceful Kilkenny countryside, the elegant Avalon House Hotel has unveiled its new Summer Sanctuary Stays collection, offering guests a luxurious and restorative escape centred around nature, wellness, heritage and slow summer living.

Every March, TradFest transforms the city of Kilkenny into a living stage dedicated to traditional Irish music. Over several days, the country’s finest musicians, singers, and dancers take over the city’s historic venues to offer an immersive experience blending culture, heritage, and conviviality. And the 14th edition promises to be the best yet (not to be missed under any pretext!).
