We make classroom topics feel new and exciting

Our tours encourage children to work as historians. They investigate the lives of the families and workers that lived in the house as well as those that worked the land.

The interiors of Newbridge House are remarkably complete and amongst the best preserved in Ireland. Downstairs, the servants’ quarters and historic Georgian kitchen allow visitors to imagine the hectic workload involved in running a house of this size (and witness the labour-saving devices of the past!).
