IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MALAHIDE CASTLE & GARDENS
Your chance to win two tickets to this unforgettable experience …
There are evenings out and then there’s Malahide Castle & Gardens that offers something far more transportive: The Hunt Dinner, an immersive return to 18th-century Ireland where theatre, history and a touch of indulgence meet.
From the moment you arrive, the tone is set. Guests are welcomed as triumphant members of a hunt party, returning to the ancestral home of the Talbot family. Irish Wolfhounds stand sentinel at the castle doors while you’re served a whiskey soda, entirely in keeping with the mood. It feels cinematic, almost painterly, the kind of setting that invites you to linger, take it in and remember the moment.
But this is no ordinary heritage experience. As you move through the castle’s rooms, the story unfolds around you. Costumed performers blur the line between guide and character, drawing guests into a living narrative that’s as entertaining as it is atmospheric. Expect humour, a little drama and plenty of unexpected moments along the way.
The evening culminates in Nugent’s Hall where a generous multi-course feast awaits. It’s convivial, relaxed and joyful with flowing wine and an emphasis on shared experience rather than formality.
A thoughtful layer of detail elevates the night further and provides a picture-perfect moment to capture the night forever. Guests are invited to lean into the spirit of the evening with a curated dress-up box of period accessories to join in on the fun, alongside a “Social Passport” offering playful guidance on etiquette to test your manners!
For those who enjoy an experience with personality, polish and a unique sense of occasion, this is one to note. For bookings and details, visit: bookings.malahidecastleandgardens.ie/Event/HUNTPARTY
