Itinerary 1: VIP
In Belfast, we really want to make you feel special. You can’t fail to be
impressed by afternoon tea in Hillsborough Castle, part of the Historic Royal
Palaces and the Queen’s official residence, or by being hosted by the Lord
Mayor of Belfast at a gala dinner in Belfast City Hall. We can even arrange
for you to sweep up the famous Stormont Mile driveway to our Parliament
Buildings where government ministers will mingle with guests at a drinks
reception in the prestigious marbled splendour of the Great Hall. With luxury
travel options to make it a VIP experience from door to door, we can make
sure you will talk about your visit for years to come.
Fit for a king
We can offer a whole range of
regal experiences to impress your
delegates. Belfast Castle is a Scottish
Baronial landmark that provides a
sumptuous venue for any event,
with commanding views over Belfast
Lough from the rich green slopes
of Cave Hill. Alternatively, why not
impress your guests in the grandeur
of Hastings Culloden Estate and
Spa? Originally built as an official
Palace for the Bishops of Down,
the Culloden stands in 12 acres
of beautiful secluded gardens and
woodland. Palatial surroundings, fine
antiques and the highest levels of
personal service combine to give the
Culloden a unique air of elegance.
Just north of the city, Antrim
Castle Gardens and Clotworthy
House provide a stunning example
of evolutionary garden design
wrapped in over four centuries of
culture and heritage. The gardens
are a distinctive setting for events,
enveloped in the rich history of the
Massereene family dynasty.

there is no better place to uncover
the real story than right here, amidst
the decedents of the men who built
the most famous ship in the world.
Host your gala dinner in Titanic
Belfast, the award-winning
internationally-renowned visitor
experience, overlooking the slipway
where Titanic was built.
The city has a rich maritime heritage.
SS Nomadic, the tender ship to
Titanic, provides an exclusive private
venue where guests can walk in
the footsteps of Elizabeth Taylor
and Richard Burton, all famous
passengers in her day.
HMS Caroline, a World War One Light
Battle Cruiser and the last surviving
ship from the Battle of Jutland in
1916, is a piece of world history that
is a recent and captivating addition
to the city’s maritime visitor and
delegate experience. The recently
restored vessel adds to the tapestry
of genuinely unique venues in the city.

gates. You can now host a conference
in the old chapel wing, grab an
informal lunch under the arched vaults

celebrity chefs at the The Cookery

watering delights right

Delight in a draught
Belfast offers a full range of
establishments to quench even the
most thirsty of delegates. For an
informal delegate experience, take a
historical walking pub tour, relax in a
cosy snug in one of our historic bars
such as the Garrick or the Crown Bar,
or sample one of our new micro-
brews or gins in one of our brewpubs.

bars and restaurants and here you

something they’ll never forget. Just an

careful guidance of the Master Distiller.

We have great pride in our home-grown products and everyone you
meet will tell you that we think we produce the best food in the world.

for the senses, with sights, sounds, tastes and smells guaranteed to
delight any visitor. There you can meet the local traders, hear their
