The Hunt Dinner Party

Saturday, 2 May 2026 - Saturday, 26 September 2026
About this event
Your journey begins at the castle gates, where you are greeted by majestic Irish Wolfhounds, a living symbol of our heritage. Sip on a crisp fine whiskey soda and let the ethereal melodies of the Irish Harp transport you back in time before the evening’s festivities truly begin.
Upon entry, the “Who’s Who” of the 18th century comes to life – and you are one of them. Every guest receives a Social Passport assigning them a unique persona and a secret social objective for the night.
We want you talking, laughing, and debating with your tablemates. This is a unique night out designed to break the ice; we want you leaving as friends with your neighbour after a night of shared secrets and stories.
