Join us on Sunday, January 5th, for a special celebration of Nollaig na mBan (pronounced "Null-ig na Mon"), or Women’s Christmas. This cherished Irish tradition, observed on January 6th alongside the Feast of the Epiphany, honors the incredible women who bring light and joy to the holiday season as it comes to a close. Since the pub will be closed on Monday, we’re celebrating a day early.
The Tradition of Nollaig na mBan
Nollaig na mBan is a time-honored Irish celebration that offered women a well-deserved break after the busyness of the Christmas season. Historically, it was a day for women to gather, while men handled household duties. Particularly vibrant in counties like Cork and Kerry, women met in homes, pubs, and restaurants to enjoy tea, festive treats, and stories, savoring the final moments of the holidays together.
In recent years, this tradition has evolved into a joyful celebration of women’s invaluable contributions to family, community, and beyond. Inspired by the heartwarming gatherings of women across Ireland, our afternoon tea invites you to unwind, reflect, and savor the last festive treats of the season with friends and family.
A Farewell to the Holidays
Marking the close of the Christmas season, Nollaig na mBan is the perfect opportunity to toast to the year ahead while embracing this unique Irish tradition. We warmly invite you to relax, reconnect, and immerse yourself in an afternoon tea in the cozy ambiance of Saints & Scholars Irish Pub.
An Afternoon Tea to Remember
Celebrate Nollaig na mBan with a delightful afternoon tea, featuring an array of savories, sweets, and scones. It’s the perfect way to honor the women who make the holiday season—and every day—extraordinary.
