Order flowersSend flowers to Kilkenny, the Marble City
A Kilkenny florist puts the bouquet together and brings it round six days a week. For flowers today, order first thing.
Kilkenny is a small city of about 27,000 people on both banks of the River Nore, known for Kilkenny Castle, St Canice's Cathedral and its round tower, Rothe House and the narrow medieval lanes in between. The castle was given to the people of Kilkenny in 1967, and its parkland and rose garden are among the most visited in the south-east.
Delivery across Kilkenny
Most people live outside the old borough boundary, in the estates that have grown out along the main roads. Flowers can be sent to the city centre, to Loughboy, Gardens and the Castlecomer Road, to the Waterford and Callan roads, and out to villages such as Bennettsbridge, Thomastown and Callan. In the city centre, many houses and flats are in lanes and courtyards behind the main streets, so the Eircode and the flat number belong on the order.
Festivals and hospitals
The Kilkenny Arts Festival in August and the Cat Laughs comedy festival at the start of June draw big crowds; order a day ahead for those weeks.
St Luke's General Hospital is the main public hospital, and Aut Even, a private hospital, is also in the city. Each of them is covered on a separate page. Not every ward there accepts fresh flowers, so a phone call first saves disappointment. When someone dies, the funeral comes round fast, so do not leave a wreath or spray to the last minute.
Did you know? Kilkenny Castle was presented to the people of Kilkenny by the Marquess of Ormonde in 1967.

Frequently asked questions about sending flowers to Kilkenny
Is an address on the Medieval Mile a problem?
Yes. Many homes in the old city are in lanes, courtyards or flats above shops, so give the Eircode, the flat number and a mobile number. That way the bouquet does not end up at the wrong door on a busy street.
Which villages around Kilkenny, such as Thomastown and Callan, are covered?
Yes, the towns and villages around Kilkenny city are covered. Rural houses are often known by townland, so the Eircode is the best way to make sure the right house is found.
Should I send flowers to St Luke's General Hospital?
Check with the ward first, as some units restrict fresh flowers. St Luke's has its own page here. If the hospital is discouraging flowers, a delivery at home is the obvious alternative.
