The Castle has hosted many interesting characters over the years from Queen Victoria to Bing Crosby. We have also been used as the filming location for recent films and tv series such as Love and Friendship, Bodkin, Moonflower Murders and many more!
We offer indoor rooms and outdoor spaces for hire around the castle but please note that we do not provide catering or a bar service. If you're looking to enjoy a culinary experience here at the castle, why not try a private hands-on cooking class here with Howth Castle Cookery School.
Please note the castle is open for public viewing during arranged guided tour times only.
