Candle Making Workshop - Witch Trial 700th Anniversary

Candle Making Workshops at the Makerspace Mayfair Library. Illuminate your senses with Essie May’s candle making workshop, where teenagers can craft their own piece of medieval Kilkenny.

Ignite your creativity in the heart of medieval Kilkenny! Teens, get ready to mold your own piece of history. As part of Kilkenny’s 700th anniversary, a captivating series of workshops will unfold across the city.

But wait, there’s more: delve into the enigmatic past during the Kilkenny Witchcraft Trial of 1324. Alice Kyteler, the first person charged with witchcraft in Europe, and Petronella de Meath, the first to face the stake for witchcraft, cast shadows that echo through time. This landmark trial not only captivated the medieval city but reverberated globally, setting the stage for infamous witch trials like those in Salem and Pendle.

Now, join us on an exhilarating journey as we celebrate the 700th anniversary of this iconic event. Let your creativity flicker and your senses come alive—because history awaits your touch!
