On Christmas Eve, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before heading out to explore the charming streets of Kilkenny City, beautifully dressed for the festive season or enjoy the facilities at the Newpark Hotel.

From mid-afternoon, the lobby becomes the heart of the hotel as guests gather to relax and soak up the atmosphere. Mulled wine, prosecco and hot chocolate are served alongside an indulgent selection of scones, sandwiches and sweet treats, all accompanied by live piano music and traditional Christmas carols.

As evening falls, delight in a sumptuous four-course Christmas Eve dinner, served with elegance and festive flair in our Ballroom. Later, settle in for a cosy movie night in our Ski Chalet with popcorn, or enjoy live music and Christmas cheer in the lobby and Scotts Bar. End the evening with a nightcap by the fire, embracing the warmth and wonder of the season.

The highlight of the day follows with a lavish five-course Christmas Day banquet in our Ballroom. Crackers are pulled, glasses are raised and live entertainment fills the room as you savour every indulgent course.

The celebrations continue into the evening with a festive buffet dinner, live music throughout the night and a warm, joyful atmosphere, making Christmas Day at Newpark truly unforgettable.
