Waterford Treasures and Mount Congreve Gardens launch The Bridgerton Experience
One of Ireland’s oldest city’s finest Georgian townhouses, ‘The Bishop’s Palace’ and the exquisite and stately 18th Century Mount Congreve Estate collaborate to announce ‘The Bridgerton Experience’.
Guests can enjoy a reenactor-led tour of the luxurious surroundings of the beautiful Bishop’s Palace. Take a tour with the Housekeeper or Butler while the Bishop is away and discover the secrets the house holds. On this special tour, guests can enjoy a reenactor-led experience through the luxurious surroundings of the Bishop’s Place where they can prepare to be entranced by ornate gilt furniture and architectural features. On the tour they will discover the real world of Bridgerton through the scandalous affairs, tantalising love stories and more that hide beneath the veneer of Georgian perfection. Learn about misbehaving rakes, scurrilous rumours and murder most foul on this special tour of one of Waterford’s most famous townhouses.
Following the tour, continue the Bridgerton experience by reserving traditional Afternoon Tea in Mount Congreve Gardens. Sit back and enjoy old-world charm in the beautifully restored Tack Room.
