Kilkenny’s Christmas camoe on a few days early to facilitate the filming during November, which includes stints in the kitchen at Kilkenny Castle along with visits to a number of local producers and St. Canice’s Cathedral.

Locations and producers were being scouted and sourced for production back in early October. While food is to the forefront, the programmes do great justice to the tourism and heritage side of Kilkenny, albeit wrapped up in about an hour.
