The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Kilkenny, Province of Leinster

June 14, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

Kilkenny is over 400 years old, but it sure doesn’t show its age. Yes, it's an awe-inspiring throng of medieval cathedrals, castles, abbeys and other massive stone buildings, but Kilkenny loves to party. An endless stream of arts festivals celebrating theater, comedy, bluegrass and dance is constantly pumping the city with new life, toe-tapping energy and international flavor.

Featuring water on several holes as well as Greenside and Fairways, Bunkers, Mature Spinnes and other obstacles. Suitable for both the experienced and new golfer. Rugby golf new to Kilkenny and the Southeast, Rugby golf is just what you’d expect: a mixture of rugby-centric skills set on its own 9 hole course with a unique “hole.” Played at the Pococke Golf Centre, players tee off by kicking the ball down the fairway off of a tee, drop-kicking or kicking out of hand for medium-range shots and then throwing the ball into the net as a hybrid of chipping and putting. It is one of the most inclusive games for all ages and abilities. Pococke Golf Centre is the ideal venue for birthday parties, hen and stag parties, group and corporate bookings, team building.

We were 12 adults with 4 children aged 7-14 in Kilkenny to celebrate a 70th birthday. We spent an afternoon at the Escape Rooms & it was great fun especially on a very wet Saturday. Suited all the ages & with 3 different escape rooms a good choice.
