Kilkenny markets French appeal in Patrick’s Day run-up

A MEDIEVAL city is to exude that extra bit of character and European appeal in the run-up to St Patrick’s Day as a three-day French market gets underway in Kilkenny.

Kilkenny Chamber of Commerce & Industry is bringing a three-day French market to the heart of the city from Thursday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm.

It will be held in conjunction with the local market which takes place on a Thursday and the Chamber believes it will create a festive atmosphere in and around the city centre leading up to St Patrick’s Day.
