Temple House

Half a mile of avenue wanders through parkland, its green grass maintained in perfect order with the assistance of sixteen hundred sheep and their lambs. Fine old trees provide the flock with a measure of shade on hot days and, in all directions, there is a screen formed by the natural woods that cover more than half the demesne. Temple House is a magnificent Georgian mansion set amidst a 1,000 acre private estate in Co Sligo.

Perhaps it is because it has been the family home since 1665 that makes the atmosphere here so peaceful and special. Temple House boasts rooms of enormous proportions and grandeur and yet there is a real sense of intimacy here too.

Hold your civil ceremony in the Drawing Room, or maybe celebrate with a blessing by the Knights Templar lakeside castle, or just make merry. We can welcome small intimate gatherings or larger parties.  The croquet lawn is also an ideal spot for a marquee so the options are limitless. The gardens are spectacular, the whole setting breathtaking.

We have the following 3 options for you to consider. Let's try to keep it simple!

A sit down for up to 80 either in the dining room or in the drawing room.

A sit down for more than 80 in a marquee on the croquet lawn overlooking the Knights Templar castle and the lake beyond is for you. Numbers are not limited at all - 250 would be fine.

Our preference - because it works so well. Enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the Big House throughout the day with numbers up to about 160+ with a buffet. (There is no lower limit on this by the way.) You don't have the added expense of a marquee and associated costs either.
