Corporate Location

The historic and magnificent surroundings of the Ballywalter Park Mansion House, built between 1846 and 1870 and home of the 6th Baron Dunleath provide a truly different venue for those seeking somewhere special to hold their corporate or other prestigious event.

In past years, the glittering and spacious main reception rooms played host to grand house parties and Royal visits, with the Duke & Duchess of York – later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth coming to stay in 1924 and the Duke & Duchess of Gloucester in 1935.

Now these rooms adapt easily to the needs of those seeking to organise a corporate dinner, a conference, a product launch or an incentive event. Indeed the possibilities are endless.

Whilst we appreciate that you will want to come and see for yourself just what makes Ballywalter Park so different as a venue, here is a synopsis of what is on offer.

The Demesne

The immediate surrounding demesne extends to approximately 270 acres, with 30 acres of pleasure grounds around the Mansion House. The grounds provide a perfect location for corporate outdoor pursuits and the Ballywalter Park team will be glad to offer advice and make arrangements tailored to your particular requirements.

Catering

We pride ourselves in our philosophy of preparing all food in-house, using only the freshest ingredients sourced from the Ballywalter Park Estate and from the Walled Garden, and with meats carefully selected from a local butcher and fish and shellfish sourced directly from the nearby fishing port of Portavogie and from Strangford Lough. The Ballywalter Park shoot ensures a plentiful supply of game in season.

The preparation and service of food is personally supervised by our own Food Historian, Vibse Lunn, and our team are dedicated to make each luncheon or dinner a very special event.

Lord Dunleath selects the wines and ports to accompany the menus from the extensive, traditional cellars beneath the house. A large and varied stock is replenished through judicious purchasing from Merchants’ opening offers of Clarets and Burgundies, buying at auction at Sotheby’s and from a personal visit each year to the wine growing regions of France.

Accommodation

For those seeking an overnight stay, Ballywalter Park offers 9 double and 2 twin bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and one further double bedroom with a private bathroom.

General

Naturally, clients will have exclusive use of the Ballywalter Park Mansion House during their stay. A policy decision has been made to decline wedding receptions and casual dining/overnight bookings, thus to further enhance the special nature of this magical place.

Every event is personally supervised by Lord Dunleath and Vibse Lunn, who would be delighted to offer you a tour of Ballywalter Park and to discuss and advise on your requirements.
