Why hold your event at Temple House?
Imagine…
The parkland
Sweeping parkland with the Georgian house, Knights Templar castle and Templehouse Lake as a backdrop.
The walled garden
Fruit trees and open space to set up in, behind old stone walls.
The rockery
A sheltered space in mature, mainly natural woodland — which is rather special.
The Coach Yard
A venue of beautiful architecture in local limestone.
The venue field
Framed with magnificent mature trees.
Access & practicalities
Built for events, proven by a festival
Traffic flow
A one-way system using the estate’s four avenues works well — as demonstrated by Temple House Festival.
By road & rail
The bus passes along the edge of the estate on the N17; Ballymote station is on the Dublin line.
Parking
Plenty of well-drained fields with estate roads and additional purpose-built tracks.
Camping & accommodation
