From gala banquets to intimate private dinners, in Trinity’s heritage rooms.
For centuries, Trinity’s halls have echoed with the sound of great conversations over fine food. Today, you can gather your guests in the same historic surroundings, whether for a grand gala dinner or an intimate private lunch.
Our celebrated banqueting team creates menus that showcase locally sourced Irish produce with a modern twist, tailored to your occasion and served with warm, attentive hospitality.
Venues, capacities, and floorplans
We know that atmosphere and setting make an evening unforgettable. Explore our banqueting and private dining venues below to find the right space for your occasion, whether it’s an intimate dinner for a few guests or a grand banquet for hundreds.
Your table, your way
Some of the best conversations happen around a table, and ours have been hosting them for centuries. Whether you’re planning a banquet for hundreds in the Dining Hall or a private dinner for a select few, we’ll help you shape an evening your guests will be talking about long after the last course.
Where Wilde and Beckett dined
At Trinity, an evening meal becomes an occasion. Host a grand banquet in the historic Dining Hall or an intimate private dinner for a select group, with menus shaped around your event and service that makes every guest feel welcome. Before you sit down, your guests can visit the Book of Kells, one of Ireland’s greatest cultural treasures. And with bespoke gifts inspired by our heritage at every place setting, they’ll take a piece of Trinity home with them.
Private campus and heritage tours
Before dinner is served, invite your guests to a private tour of Trinity’s historic squares and buildings, led by our students and graduates. It’s an elegant way to open the evening, giving guests a sense of the history around them before they take their seats.
Guest gifting
Mark the occasion with a bespoke gift inspired by Trinity’s heritage, presented at each place setting or handed to guests as they leave. Each piece can be tailored to your event, so your guests take home a lasting reminder of the evening.
Stay the night on campus
Make your evening even easier for guests by offering accommodation right in the heart of the city. During the summer months, guests can stay in our historic campus rooms, just a short stroll from dinner and with no need to worry about getting home afterwards.
