Welcome the spring at this intimate, specially curated multi-course dining experience held on the grounds of a historic Irish estate.
About this Event

The Dining Club is a unique experience that encourages community, drawing guests together in an intimate, convivial atmosphere while showcasing our passion for food and hospitality.

Traversing past and present and deeply rooted in a sense of place, The Dining Club sees chefs Kelly Keogh () and James Gabriel Martin () curating dining events with a focus on seasonality, heritage and story-telling. Each one is unique, designed around a theme, with changing menus, entertainment, and table settings.

Whitestown House Estate, nestled near The Naul in North County Dublin, is set on 125 acres of farm and parkland. The historic demesne has remained intact since the 1600s and has a long and storied history of hospitality, marking it as the perfect venue for our events.

The house was designed for entertaining. Guests are first welcomed into the drawing room for pre-dinner cocktails, canapés and music. The legendary long table in the dining room can accommodate up to 18 guests, and by its very design encourages connection and conversation.

In the winter months, candlelight and crackling open fires bathe all of the rooms in a warm, welcoming glow. In the spring and summer months we host woodland gatherings beneath an ancient fern-leaved beech tree on the property and have picnics on the lawn.

We are delighted to announce that we now offer wine pairings, as well as a truly special non-alcoholic beverage pairing, carefully crafted by Bech Bailey (of the two michelin starred Aimsir). Scroll down on the ticket option page to include the add-on.

Imbolc or Imbolg, also called Saint Brigid's Day (Lá Fhéile Bríde) is a Gaelic traditional festival. Halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, it has traditionally been heralded as the official beginning of spring, and is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals.

Customs of the day have included weaving Brigid's crosses, hung over doors and windows to protect against fire, illness, and evil spirits. Brigid was said to visit one's home on Saint Brigid's Eve. To receive her blessings, people would make a bed for Brigid, leave her food and drink, and set items of clothing outside for her to bless. Holy wells would be visited, a special meal would be had, and the day was traditionally linked with weather lore.

Join us at the historic Whitestown House to gather for a specially-prepared seven-course spring feast that pays homage to the heritage and folklore of the Irish Celtic tradition.

There will be seasonal Irish produce thoughtfully utilised, with ingredients and dishes that hold ancient meaning and tell tales.

Let us celebrate what nature has given us, slow down, unwind and dine.
