Heritage & unique venues

Venues with a story to tell

Founded by the Vikings in 914, Waterford is Ireland’s oldest city, and few destinations can offer a 13th-century hall for a networking evening, a Georgian drawing room for a client dinner or a working crystal factory for a delegate tour. Waterford’s heritage and garden venues add a sense of place that a standard function room can’t.

Beyond the agenda

More than a meeting room

Build free time into the programme: cycle the Greenway, walk the coast, play a round or explore a thousand years of history between sessions.

Exceptional food & drink

A dining scene to remember

From contemporary Irish cooking and fresh coastal seafood to historic restaurants, cosy cafés and lively bars, Waterford has plenty of options for group dinners, client entertaining and evenings off the agenda.
