The Barrel Yard team at Smithwick’s Experience Kilkenny enjoyed a bumper weekend of live music and stone-splitting sunshine at the enclosed, open-air venue in the heart of the city.

On Friday there was DJ sessions with Simon and Edel and on Saturday there was live music with Lincoln Skins from 5pm, duo who are renowned for combining banter and laughter with live music and were specifically chosen for the Cat Laughs weekend.
Renowned local musician Ruairi Flynn performed on the live stage just after lunchtime on Sunday for a fantastic gig.

There was also locally sourced and produced food from the onsite food truck.

The Barrel Yard is located on site at the Smithwick’s Experience.
