Set Your Event Apart
The elegant Regency mansion at Fota was designed to impress its guests and provide a stage for important gatherings. When John Barry-Smith commissioned a revamp of the house in the 1820s, he wanted to establish Fota House as a place where grand occasions could be hosted in style.
Today, we host meetings and seminars in the Library, champagne receptions in the Drawing Room, and hog roasts in our gorgeous Victorian Walled Garden as part of a comprehensive range of corporate event services that make the most of this breathtaking location, just 30 minutes’ drive from Cork city.
