Hurling Tours Ireland: Kilkenny City Experience
← All things to do
About
Kilkenny is the county most associated with hurling, so this is the place to try it. The experience starts in a real team dressing room at the O'Loughlin Gaels club grounds, where you get the history of the game and why it is often called the fastest field sport in the world. Then you head out onto the pitch to learn the basic skills and take your own shots at the posts. No experience is needed.
