Victoria March/April 2026

Arriving like a light, fresh wind holding the promise of warmer days ahead, Victoria’s March/April issue ushers in spring with pages strewn with vernal delights. Spirits are sure to quicken as we step onto the shores of the Emerald Isle, a land of romance and heritage that inspires our latest hardcover volume, Our Hearts Are in Ireland, and that enchants us with its mystical realms and talented makers. Come along as we explore the lively city of Cork and the colorful towns surrounding it. Venture to the countryside, where we discover intoxicating scents crafted by The Burren Perfumery and an unassuming ironclad gate that opens the way to Ballyfin, a lavish Regency mansion that now serves as one of the nation’s most refined retreats. Pressed-flower artist Nell Stritch welcomes us to her shop in Limerick, where she uses dried blooms to create breathtaking works of art. We also visit a historic woolen mill for a behind-the-scenes look at their distinctive textiles and drop by the world’s oldest candle company. In addition, we peek inside gorgeous Victorian-era glasshouses that soar above beds burgeoning with bright pennants of color at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin. Back home, armfuls of lily of the valley blossoms adorn a sweetly set Easter table, accompanied by recipes for a celebratory springtime brunch.
