    Wandered over on a whim while exploring Kilkenny. Nice collection of shops. Grabbed a piece of souvenir artwork at a reasonable price. The shops seem to run a wide gamut with respect to cost.

    Well, the name suggested something of Ireland-wide national relevance and origin to me. I think this is misleading and it feels more like a few local craftsmen coming together in one nice & atmospheric place to attract more attention and customers. Nothing wrong with this, but I think a more appropriate name would be Kilkenny Design & Craft Shoppe / Market 😊

    Lovely well laid out Courtyard, with the Kilkenny Design Shop and Cafe. Lauren in the Kilkenny shop was very helpful, she's a wonderful assistant.

    Clothing stores and eating areas. Most importantly it has free bathrooms right next to the castle. Thank you for that!

    This is a cool little place to walk through. The artisan shops are wonderful! The silversmith was hands down our favorite. To see a gentleman that passionate about his craft for as long as he has been at it was the best! He was fantastic to talk to!

    One can spend hours in this one location. All artisans make their own crafts. Workshops available with many. We spent the better part
