Hillsborough Castle And Gardens

This graceful Georgian house boasts a rich history of royal occasions and state affairs, from its 18th century origins as a home to Wills Hill, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to its place as a working royal residence and role as a venue for Irish and British politicians discussing the Peace Process. Now, you can enjoy the same elegant spaces and professional service previously reserved for presidents and princesses.

Set within 100 acres of beautiful gardens, this timeless venue is the perfect for creating a classic experience your guests will never forget.

Our State Entrance, Ante Room, Red Room, State Drawing Room and Lady Grey’s Study are all wonderful spaces for drinks/canapé receptions for up to 200 people. Up to 80 people can enjoy a sit-down meal in the grand Throne Room, and smaller numbers of up to 40 can be accommodated in the opulent State Dining Room.

Planning a large-scale event? Why not hire one of two stunning marquee sites; complete with castle and garden views? Marquee sites can accommodate up to 350 people and you and your guests can still enjoy access to all the castle's State Rooms for the first hour of your guests' arrival.
