Unique Irish Venue Hire: Dublin & Surrounding Areas
Unique Irish Venues
Ireland offers a diverse landscape - from bustling city landscapes to lavender-covered fields and dramatic seaside cliffs.
It also offers various unique venues in and around Dublin where you can host your next birthday, wedding, or office party.
Read on to learn about the various venue hire options you can choose from, from a gorgeous Dublin roof terrace to your very own private castle.
Party in Dublin
Hosting your event in and around the Dublin city centre has a lot of advantages:
Vibrant atmosphere: Dublin is known for its lively atmosphere, which can add to your overall event experience.
Accessibility and convenience: Inner-city venues are close to public transport, making it easy for guests to attend your function. Many of the city's major attractions are also within walking distance, allowing guests to do some sightseeing before or after your event.
Bad Bobs is the perfect Dublin venue! Located in the Temple Bar area on Essex Street, it boasts a rooftop terrace with a cocktail bar and a comfortable seating area. The rooftop bar opens at 5 PM on weekdays, making it great for after-work events. It also offers live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays.
With its extensive catering options and food and drinks menus, your guests's tastes and needs are all catered for.
Hire Your Very Own Castles
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, a castle might be the ideal venue for your office or birthday party. Many castles outside Dublin offer dramatic backgrounds and breathtaking scenery for weddings and product launches. These include:
Kilkea Castle was built in the 12th century and boasts beautiful gardens. With its fairy-tale setting, this venue guarantees to make your planned event a hit with guests.
Dromoland Castle dates back to 1836 and boasts a rich history and architecture. It's one of the best venues for weddings, engagement parties, or high-profile events and offers picture-perfect backgrounds.
Farmyard Chic
If you want a more relaxed and rustic vibe, why not host your next office event at a farmyard?
Farmyard venues often boast beautiful scenery - perfect for memorable pictures of your special day. The relaxed atmosphere will also add a special charm to your event, helping your guests unwind, relax, and recharge.
Oftentimes, guests will be able to engage in unique experiences or activities such as farm tours, interacting with farm animals, and hands-on workshops. This would be ideal for a fun, private event or an office team-building activity.
A favourite venue for this type of event is Ballybeg House. This venue is known for its old-school charm and lush gardens. Plus, it can accommodate large parties and offer event organisers the latest high-tech facilities. The venue has a range of function rooms, including Ballybeg House, the Victorian Marquee, and the Ayers Ceremony Room.
Museum Venues to Consider
Museums can provide a unique backdrop for events and offer exclusive hire packages and modern, top-of-the-range amenities.
Hiring a museum outside the city can also help you save costs as they are generally more affordable than venues close to the city centre. They often offer interactive, educational activities to entertain guests and help them learn more about Ireland's art, culture, and history.
For example, the National Museum of Country Life, one of the gems of the UK, is a mere two-hour drive from Dublin. It boasts a lake and an ancient castle and offers ample parking, an audio-visual theatre, and various meeting and function rooms.
Final Thoughts
If you're looking for the perfect venue or function room for your next event, you are guaranteed to find one in or around Dublin that fits all your requirements.
Whether you choose an inner city location, a stately castle, a laid-back countryside venue, or a museum, Ireland offers a range of venue rentals that cater to every need.
