THE LUNAR BANQUET

Sunday 16th March 2025
Location: St. Canice’s Cathedral (St Patrick’s Festival)
“Dining Beneath the Moon: The Lunar Banquet at St. Canice’s Cathedral – A 3-Course Feast, Wine, and Music by The Half Room with Pauline Scanlon”
St Patrick’s Festival and Kilkenny Tradfest have come together to combine music, art and amazing food in the unique setting of St Canice’s Cathedral with their temporary exhibition of the stunning touring artwork ‘Museum Of The Moon’ by UK artist Luke Jerram. Guests will listen to music by The Half Room, featuring Pauline Scanlon while enjoying an exquisite 3 course wine paired meal, catered by Langton’s Hotel. This will be a unique dining ad musical experience, celebrating our national festival weekend.
Measuring seven metres in diameter, ‘Museum of The Moon’ exhibition brought to you by St Canice’s Cathedral features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface.
‘The Half Room’ are a group of friends bonded by their mutual passion for folk songs and singing. What initially started as a weekly gathering to share songs has evolved into a new band, ready to release their debut self-titled album. The ensemble features the evocative vocals of renowned Dingle singer Pauline Scanlon and the velvety richness of singer-songwriter Nicola Joyce from celebrated Galway trio ‘The Whileaways’.
