Sunday 09th August 2026
Location: Kilkenny
Join us in the Georgian setting of the Lady Eleanor Room for an intimate dinner in conversation with the artist, Eugene Conway, who’s exhibition The Road Home, brings paintings by this Kilkenny-based realist to Butler House during the 2026 Kilkenny Arts Festival. In collaboration with Gormleys, Conway’s atmospheric landscapes capture rural Ireland’s quiet beauty, bringing his gentle sense of place to Butler House. A special 30 mile menu features the bounty of the county sourced from with 30 miles of the house. Each course shines a light on a different local food hero: trout from Thomastown, apples from organic orchards, meat and dairy from family producers, whiskey distilled in sight of the city’s spires. Our kitchen simply brings them together, with classic technique and a light touch, so you can enjoy this long table menu – made by our neighbours, and cooked especially for you. Pre-booking is essential by calling 056 772 2828 or by email: res@butler.ie Spaces are very limited so please book early.
