Kilkenny Home Rule Club

“Meet old friends and make new ones”

Founded in 1894, the original aim of the Club was to support the Home Rule Movement which aspired to self-government for Ireland. Home Rule Clubs were once widespread throughout the land, and Kilkenny Home Rule Club is the last remaining one in the country. It has no political affiliations and opens its doors as a social club where visitors and locals can enjoy a drink, a chat and a unique atmosphere.

Watch out for our monthly sessions: Open House – a mixture of music, song and storytelling where everyone has a chance to join in; Trad nights led by musicians of national and international renown and Youth trad (7 to 9 pm) where the musicians of the future are mentored by a group of adults as they learn their craft.
