Kilkenny Arts Festival 2015 officially underway from today

Kilkenny will welcome visitors from near and far over the next 10 days for the annual Arts Festival.

There’s a packed programme of music, art exhibitions, literature and theatre over the course of the event, which this year marks it’s 42nd year.

DruidShakespeare may be the big draw for this year’s festival but there’s plenty more going on too.
