Venue Hire
The Centre can be hired for meetings, functions, events, weddings, and photoshoots. The stunning period surroundings and quiet nature of the street make it perfect for intimate events, dinners, classes, and corporate meetings.
We offer the following rooms for hire: the Maginni Room, the Kenmare Room, and the Old Library.
Please note that due to capacity restrictions and fire regulations, we are unable to host an event with more than 50 people.

The Maginni Room

Available 7 days a week.

The Old Library
The Old Library is adjoining to the Kenmare Room and is slightly smaller in dimensions. It also features a very handsome plasterwork ceiling and can be used as an additional prep area for events. It is located towards the back of the building and the windows face out over our rear courtyard. The Old Library can be hired independently for the same rates as the Kenmare Room.

If you wish to hire both the Kenmare Room and the Old Library, the combined rate would be €200 for a half-day and €400 for a full-day (excl. VAT).
