Event:A Servant's Christmas
It’s December 1902 and the castle is abuzz with activity as the kitchen staff prepare for the festivities. Gwen the kitchen maid is busy at work but can’t help but think about her family back home in nearby Bethesda. Her sister, a quarryman's wife, is heading into the hardships of the third year of the Great Penrhyn Quarry Strike and her family’s Christmas will be very different to the usual…
Join us for this immersive experience with our actor in residence to learn about Christmas traditions at Penrhyn Castle and the comparison with the reality of life during the Great Penrhyn Quarry Strike of 1900-1903, the longest industrial dispute in British history.
