Boyne Hill House is a Georgian country house estate at Kilcarn, near Navan in County Meath, that hosts corporate meetings, away days, weddings and receptions. The whole estate is let to one group at a time. The Boyne View Banqueting Suite seats up to 170 guests at tables, and 43 bedrooms on site let a team stay overnight.
Seminars and company events
When you book a corporate event, the entire estate is yours for its duration. The venue lists board meetings, workshops, training sessions and private corporate entertainment among the events it hosts, and its events team adapts the meeting rooms to the format you choose. The official site does not publish a capacity for each meeting room, so send your headcount and layout and ask for the matching room. Corporate clients quoted on the site mention a private main meeting room with breakout rooms next to it.
Between sessions, the grounds do the work of an away day. There are 38 acres of gardens and parkland, Victorian walled gardens and a riverside walk along the Boyne. Fishing on the river and an outdoor woodland Soak & Sauna can be added to a retreat. In the Manor House, a cinema room and a games room with a snooker table are available for the evening.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the estate's main business and it is hired exclusively for them too. Ceremonies take place in the Conservatory, reached from the Manor House by a stone-walled tunnel, or in the Secret Garden, a Victorian walled garden with a waterfall, a bridge and an orchard. The Boyne View Banqueting Suite looks over the estate and seats up to 170 guests with restaurant-style table service. The Manor House dining room and the Conservatory also serve for dinners.
The Gunroom Bar suits an intimate celebration or a drinks reception, and The Blushing Groom Bar is where the evening continues with music and dancing. The Manor House holds a bridal suite with a four-poster bed and a bridal beauty room. Dedicated wedding coordinators plan the day, and the venue runs private viewings and wedding showcases through the year.
