Kilkenny Christmas tree festival finishes today!

A special O'Loughlin Gaels tree features in this year's collection

St Canice's Cathedral's annual Christmas tree festival draws to a close later today.

Over the past five days, the local site has garnered much attention with beautifully designed Christmas trees uniquely designed by members of the local community displayed across the cathedral.

The local festival also features a 'Christmas Giving Tree', where visitors and parishioners are encouraged to bring something small (non-perishable) to put on the empty shelves to assist those who are less fortunate. 

The festival remains open until 6.30pm this evening.
