Available in shops now! Kilkenny Yearbook 2023 features stories, photos and more

It’s that time of the year when the Kilkenny Yearbook, brought to you by the team behind the Kilkenny People and KilkennyLive, hits the shelves. It’s available to purchase in stores right now.

The stories inside showcase the very best of local people and places. They delve into local history, heritage and legend, bringing to life the soul of Kilkenny.

Learn the story of Ireland’s oldest brewery; explore the fables and tales around the county’s sacred places - the ancient valleys, the holy wells, castles and trails.

We reflect on the 50th anniversary of Kilkenny Arts Festival, celebrated earlier this year. The county has been a perfect stage for the famous festival over five decades, with so much joy and talent brought to our doorstep each year.

Revisit the best of Kilkenny’s sporting action, from our hurlers’ Leinster championship glory, to coming up just short in the All-Ireland final. Read about the county's rising sports stars, and about the local women who were the golden generation for Irish soccer. And, make sure you don't miss a look back on some of the best Kilkenny sports photography throughout the year.

We also invited those who got married during the year to share with us a picture from their big day, and we are delighted to showcase those cherished memories and moments.
