The Hunt Dinner Party: A Night of Intrigue & Elegance

Step back to 1775. The hounds are waiting. The whiskey is poured. Your seat is at the table.

Forget everything you know about “dinner and a show.” This is an immersive journey into the heart of Malahide Castle, where history doesn’t just hang on the walls – it sits right next to you.

The Royal Welcome

Your evening begins at the castle door, where you’ll be greeted by the legendary Irish Wolfhounds. These gentle giants- the tallest dogs in the world were once the protectors of Irish kings, and tonight, they are your welcoming committee. Grab a photo with these majestic hounds before doing your tour of the castle and stepping into the candlelit glow of Nugent’s Hall.

 Whiskey, Harps & Personas

Upon arrival, trade the 21st century for a crisp whiskey soda and a tour but not as you know it!  Tonight, you aren’t just a guest; you’re a character in the drama. Will you be a scandalous aristocrat, a bumbling butler, or a mysterious traveler? With a trunk of period props (think pocket watches, lace fans, and dapper moustaches), you’ll look the part in no time.

A Four-Course Feast for the Ages plus really good wine!

As the ethereal notes of a live harp fill the air, take your seat for a lavish 4-course meal paired with house wines. But keep your wits about you—this isn’t a quiet dinner. Between courses of seasonally inspired Irish fare, the room erupts with theatrical comedy and storytelling.

• Solve the Mystery: Find clues hidden under your plate or tucked into your linen napkin.
• Bribe the Staff: You might need to slip a coin to our “drunken butler” to unlock a secret or translate a cryptic clue.
• Legendary Craic: Expect laughter, light-hearted debate, and the kind of atmosphere that turns strangers into lifelong friends by the time the final glass is raised.
