Experience hurling the heart of Kilkenny life. There are two experiences on offer in a city centre location and a rural village. Learn about the game at the heart of Irish culture and life and then take to the pitch to try the skills for yourself!
The Hurling presentation is held in the intense environment of a team’s dressing room. Many things can be seen in a dressing room on match-days, things such as aggressive team-talks, sweat and tears among some of the more memorable images. You can almost sense the agony and ecstasy from the dressing room upon arrival.
Once you are up-to-date on the basics of the game, we take you on to the ‘field of dreams’ to try a few skills for yourself. This will be an unforgettable experience that will live long in the memory of each guest. We give everyone an opportunity to take a shot at the goalposts, and score like the Kilkenny Cats so often do.
