Victorian Christmas
Family friendly
Join our ever-industrious head Housekeeper, Mrs. Rickards for a festive spin on our ‘Splendour & Scandal Tour,’ as she flutters about the grand rooms, fussing over every last detail in preparation for the Bishop’s distinguished guests.

As you wander through the elegantly adorned halls, you’ll hear the curious origins of some of our most cherished Christmas traditions, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Waterford’s Georgian Bishop’s Palace. The decorations themselves—lovingly handmade—add to the warmth and whimsy of the season.

And if you’re sharp of ear, you may catch the occasional whispered snippet of local gossip, a playful hint of society’s secrets fluttering through the candlelit rooms—just the sort of thing Mrs. Rickards might delight in sharing, if you’re lucky.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
