The highlight of the night is a curated five-course dinner that pays homage to the lavish banquets favored by Georgian high society. Drawing inspiration from authentic period menus, the meal celebrates the rich bounty of County Kilkenny and its surrounding landscapes. Guests will savor dishes crafted from local game, fresh fish caught in nearby waters, regional vegetables, and sweet fruits from the garden blending historic tradition with exceptional local flavors. This intimate gathering takes place on Sunday, 25th October at 7:00 PM at Butler House, located on Patrick Street in Kilkenny (R95 YY43). Tickets are priced at €95 per person, which covers the full dining experience including the arrival reception and five-course dinner.
