There is something rather special about Burtown in winter.

As the gardens settle into their winter slumber, the trees stand bare against the sky and the old stone buildings take on a different character. On frosty mornings, the estate feels wonderfully still, while inside The Green Barn, the fires are lit, the tables are laid and the kitchen is busy preparing for the season ahead.

Christmas at Burtown is about gathering, eating well, finding beautiful things and enjoying the estate at one of the most atmospheric times of year.

This winter, The Green Barn, Stream Barn, Burtown Shop and grounds will all be dressed for the season, with festive dining, seasonal drinks, Christmas shopping and special gatherings taking place throughout November and December.

We’ll be launching the season with The Burtown Christmas Market on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, bringing together a carefully selected collection of independent makers, designers, food producers and small businesses in our newly completed Stream Barn.

Seasonal Catch of the day

Christmas Dining at The Green Barn

Seasonal food, good company and a little Christmas magic.

Throughout the festive season, The Green Barn will be welcoming guests for Christmas lunches, dinners and seasonal gatherings.

Our kitchen takes its inspiration from the estate and the changing seasons, combining produce from our gardens with carefully sourced ingredients from neighbouring farms and trusted Irish producers.

Expect warming winter flavours, beautifully prepared dishes, carefully chosen wines and cocktails, and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes dining at Burtown so special.

Whether it’s an annual lunch with friends, a family occasion, or simply an excuse to escape the Christmas rush, we look forward to welcoming you.
