Winter is a blissful time to visit Ireland. Though famed for greenness, Ireland in Winter is something quite rare and beautiful. While it’s true that winter is the darkest season in Ireland, the shorter days have many advantages as they give way to some dramatic sunsets and sunrises. As evenings turn cooler, you couldn’t wish for a better excuse to nurse a pint or a whiskey in a cozy local pub with traditional Irish music for company. Christmas in Ireland is a magical time filled with festive traditions, sparkling lights, and heartwarming celebrations. From bustling markets and enchanting winter wonderlands to traditional music and cozy gatherings, Ireland offers a wealth of activities to capture the holiday spirit. What better way to celebrate the wonder of Christmas than a stay at the Cashel Palace. Perfectly situated at the crossroads of town and country tranquility, this Palladian Manor invites you to a festive retreat like no other.

Imagine towering spruces adorned with shimmering baubles, and halls echoing with the spirit of yuletide joy. Step into a sanctuary of serenity and delight, where their warm and welcoming team are at your service to
fulfill every Christmas desire during your luxurious three-day getaway. Once you have indulged in the unique enchantment of a Cashel Palace Christmas, it is certain to become your preferred destination for the festive
season, year after year!

The Cashel Palace at Christmas

Arrive to the festive Cashel Palace on Christmas Eve and be welcomed by their merry team. Enjoy a festive Afternoon Tea in the Queen Anne Room, followed by an evening of carol-singing with mulled wine and sweet treats by a warming open fire. The evening culminates with a three course dinner and digestif in Mikey Ryan’s Bar & Kitchen. Relax by the fire with family and new-found friends to enjoy the enchanting festive atmosphere, or retire to the peace and luxury of your room for the final hours of Christmas Eve.

Christmas Day begins with the Cashel Palace’s famous Irish breakfast. Spend the morning relaxing in the luxury of your room or in a cozy corner in the drawing room. Christmas Day celebrations commence with a visit from a very special guest as well as an opportunity to enjoy a festive movie with popcorn and hot chocolate. A day of enjoying some of the finest dining options, a champagne Christmas dinner will be served in ‘The Bishops Buttery’ – a gourmet spectacle featuring all your traditional festive favorites.  As bedtime beckons, slip away for a peaceful last night’s slumber in your luxurious room.

St Stephen’s Day, as we call it December 26th, begins with a leisurely breakfast. There is an opportunity to shake off the cobwebs and enjoy a guided walk along the High Kings Loop located close by or a yoga session provided by the on-site guide. An evening of excitement awaits in the ballroom with a gourmet buffet and live entertainment provided so you can celebrate throughout the night.
