Whatever the nature of your event, our dedicated team will be on hand to help you deliver an unforgettable experience for your guests.

The Gardens

Hillsborough Castle is set among 100 acres of stunning grounds, from neatly trimmed lawns and ornamental gardens to lazy streams and wild woodland. All afford inspiring views of the surrounding parkland and of the castle itself.

The West Terrace marquee site is a simply beautiful location. With the option to connect your marquee directly to the castle, your guests can enjoy effortless access from the Red Room or State Dining Room straight into your marquee space.

The South Lawn marquee site is our largest outdoor space and is used regularly for royal garden parties. Situated on the gorgeous South Lawn with breath-taking views of the castle and surrounding gardens, it's ready to accommodate marquees and gazebos of all shapes and sizes.

Access to the site is via the luxurious State Drawing Room and over the elegant stone terrace with feature water fountain, seasonal flowers and trimmed box hedges.
