Corporate and other Functions in Fota House

Fota House, a beautiful Regency style building designed by Sir Richard Morrision and located in the internationally renowned Fota Arboretum and Gardens is a wonderful venue for corporate and social functions.
Access to Fota, by road and rail, is excellent. Fota is 14 miles from Cork off the N25 and the R624 roads. A private railway station, in Fota, is served by the Cork to Cobh train with service on the hour.

Corporate functions for dinners, lectures, conferences, launch of products, family days, business meetings and other functions have been held very successfully in Fota House & Gardens.
