Hillsborough Castle has gone from being a simple Georgian country house for the Hill family to becoming the official royal residence in Northern Ireland and now it is open to the public.

Historic Royal Palaces is embarking on an exciting project - we’re opening the doors of Hillsborough Castle for everyone to explore the stories of this extraordinary place, and take part in its inspiring new future. Our ambitions will be realised over the next five years through a programme of capital projects and associated activities that will welcome visitors; explore the stories; conserve and re-present the site; engage communities and learners and make a social contribution.

Currently the Castle is open for house tours and the Gardens for access and we are piloting new events and activities for families and adults including large-scale archaeology projects, family weekends and adult lates. Visit www.hrp.org.uk for more information.
