Kings College Chapel is a beautiful Chapel that dates back to the 15th Century. We walked to it from the City Center which took about 35 minutes and is a pleasant walk. In addition to the Chapel, spend some extra time walking around the University grounds it's located on.

Great night with Galik Bred playing. Great caelidh with everyone managing to follow great instructions from the girls in the band! Super variety of dances from the eightsome reel to the hooligans jig! Do wish the Music Hall would put more caelidhs on as it’s such a perfect venue. Bar staff did well too!
