Out now! Pick up the latest edition of Kilkenny Life magazine

As the days stretch a little longer and the first hints of spring appear, our February/March edition of Kilkenny Life magazine is filled with fresh beginnings, and a celebration of the people who inspire us.

With Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and St Patrick’s Day all dotted on the spring horizon, this is a season that invites us to pause, reflect and appreciate the people who shape our lives.

Businesswoman Siobhan Donohoe talks about the success of Goresbridge Horse Sales, why family is so important to her, and the recent launch of her very own fashion line.

Style blooms this season with Thomastown designer Nicki Hoyne on her journey to the top of the fashion world, her design ethos and those viral pink-bowed shoes.

In Journey to the Job, Brigid Walsh of the award-winning Solar Precision chats about grasping a life-changing opportunity to become an engineer and her work at the cutting edge of solar technology.

Artist Brock Butler shares how he founded his very own art gallery in his hometown, showcasing the best in Irish art.

We also chat to couples about the secrets to lasting love, share delicious spring recipes, and indulge in a little curiosity with a peek at what's inside Niamh de Brún's handbag!

Here’s to longer evenings, brighter days and a spring in all our steps. Happy reading!
