Festive Celebrations Commence on a High Note for Cashel Palace

Cashel Palace Hotel will host a truly special celebration to mark the beginning of the winter season on Sunday, 16th November 2025, uniting two memorable occasions — the official launch of its festive season with a joyous Afternoon Tea experience accompanied by the 10-year anniversary of the much-loved Irish Jazz duo, Indigo Mood. 

Set within the timeless grandeur of the hotel’s 18th-century Palladian manor, this charitable afternoon promises to capture the spirit of the season with elegance, generosity and joy. 

Guests will be welcomed at 1pm with a Christmas Cocktail Reception in the Drawing Room, where roaring fires, period furnishings and views of the winter gardens create the perfect setting to toast the occasion. The celebration then continues in the magnificent Ballroom, where a beautifully curated Afternoon Tea will be served, showcasing the finest local ingredients and the creative artistry of Cashel Palace’s pastry team. 

The afternoon will be brought to life by a jubilant performance from Indigo Mood, as the acclaimed Irish band celebrates ten years of music-making. With their signature blend of jazz and soul, the duo will provide the perfect melodic backdrop to an afternoon of indulgence, excitement and good cheer. 

All proceeds from the event will be donated to two deserving charities dedicated to helping those impacted by domestic violence through shelter, support and advocacy - Cuan Saor, Tipperary and Oasis House, Waterford.

Cashel Palace Hotel remains deeply committed to its community and to hosting events that bring people together in the spirit of kindness and connection. This festive gathering is a celebration of music, hospitality and giving – a perfect way to usher in the season of goodwill.
