Smithwick’s Experience Kilkenny has relaunched Barrel Yard Sessions for the St Patrick’s Festival with live music from 14 to 17 March 2026.
Abbeyfolk performs on 14 March while B&B plays on St Patrick’s Day after the parade. Free entry is offered to those named Patrick, Patricia, or derivatives subject to availability and over-18s only. The venue provides a full bar with Smithwick’s products and low-alcohol options. Guided tours operate throughout the festival with pre-booking advised.
Ignacio Peregrina shared we’re looking forward to a great few days and really starting the new season for 2026 on a high note.
