About Hillsborough Castle

This splendid Georgian mansion, located just 20 minutes from Belfast, has a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces available for your big day, whether it’s a classic white wedding or something more distinctive – and of course, there are breath-taking photo opportunities aplenty within its 100 acres of gardens.
