Ancient Voices

Reawaken your Irish Heritage

Ancient Voices is a venue with a difference. 

Located in Historic Kells in South Co. Kilkenny, we use an 800 year old Priory and a 200 year old church to host poets, musicians and storytellers. 

We host artists who can allow us look at our Irish culture and heritage through a new lens.

Our events are often through the spoken word, the medium of our Irish ancestors before ink ever dripped from a quill.
