Celebrate in the heritage rooms of Ireland’s oldest university.
Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, an anniversary, a reunion or a special family gathering, our spaces offer a backdrop like no other, with our celebrated banqueting team serving the best of Irish produce with a modern twist.
Some moments deserve a setting as memorable as the occasion itself. For over 430 years, Trinity has been a place where people gather to mark life’s milestones, and today our historic campus in the heart of Dublin is ready to welcome yours.
Venues, capacities, and floorplans
We know that every celebration needs the right space and a day that flows beautifully. Explore our venues below to find the perfect setting for your wedding, anniversary or special occasion.
Shape your perfect celebration
Your occasion, designed your way. Welcome your guests with a drinks reception, take a tour of the Book of Kells and the Old Library, then gather in the Dining Hall for a dinner to remember. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an anniversary or a reunion, our team will work with you to shape every moment into a true sense of occasion.
Make your celebration one to remember
At Trinity, a celebration goes beyond the dinner table. Your guests can join a Trinity Trails tour, led by our students and graduates, to walk in the footsteps of Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and Mary Robinson, or visit the Book of Kells, one of Ireland’s greatest cultural treasures. And with bespoke gifts inspired by our heritage, they’ll take a piece of Trinity home with them.
Private campus and heritage tours
Give your guests a moment to explore before the celebrations begin, with a private tour of Trinity’s cobbled squares, historic buildings and hidden corners, led by our students and graduates. It’s a lovely way to welcome friends and family, fill the time between ceremony and reception, or give visitors from abroad a real taste of Dublin’s history.
Guest gifting
Send your guests home with a keepsake from Trinity, from bespoke gifts inspired by our heritage to beautifully presented favours for every place setting. Each piece can be tailored to your occasion, so the memory of your day stays with them long after the celebrations end.
Stay on campus for your celebration
Make life easier for your guests by offering accommodation right in the heart of the city. During the summer months, family and friends can stay in our campus rooms, perfect for anyone travelling in for a wedding weekend, a family celebration or a special occasion.
