Did you know Oscar Wilde's mother was from Wexford? Castle tour guide, Vivian Lambert, takes a look back at her fascinating and eventful life as writer, poet, revolutionary and campaigner for liberty and women’s rights.

Vivian brings this remarkable history to life, shedding light on how Jane’s influence not only shaped Oscar Wilde’s creative path but also how she left an indelible mark on Irish and feminist history. She takes a look back at Jane’s eventful life as a writer, poet, revolutionary, and campaigner for liberty and women’s rights.
