Ancient Crafts Workshop

Hands-on heritage skills with master craftspeople

Step away from screens and into centuries-old traditions. Choose from a variety of craft workshops hosted on the estate by our network of skilled craftspeople — including woodworker Eoin Reardon and sculptor Lynn Kirkham. Options range from wood carving and bowl making to coppersmithing, blacksmithing, and dry stone walling. Your group will learn a tangible skill together, creating something real with their hands. It's a grounding, memorable shared experience that sparks genuine conversation.

Garden to Table Experience

Harvest, cook & feast together

Guided by a local chef, your group will head into the estate's gardens and farm to harvest fresh, seasonal ingredients — then return to the kitchen to transform them into a stunning meal together. From soil to plate, this is a collaborative experience that naturally brings people together around the most universal of pleasures: good food, made by your own hands.

Hackathon Challenge

Build, collaborate & innovate

Hosted by AI expert Hamish Davison from Income Stream Surfers on YouTube, this hackathon challenge sees your team break into groups to build a piece of tech that solves a unique problem. Unlike a typical team building session, this works beautifully as a layer over the course of a multi-day stay — giving people a shared project that keeps them interacting and collaborating naturally throughout, not just in one planned session.

Mix & Match Your Retreat

These experiences work brilliantly on their own or combined across a multi-day stay. Picture a murder mystery on the first evening, a crafts workshop the next morning, a garden-to-table dinner, and a hackathon thread running throughout — keeping everyone engaged and collaborating from arrival to departure.

We also offer a range of classic team activities such as paintballing, go karting, and whiskey tasting — plus more experiences available on request. Just let us know what your group is into and we’ll put together the perfect itinerary.

“We had the BEST weekend at Ballinderry House! Rowan and Joel went above and beyond — Joel actually created a full murder mystery party for us, complete with characters, clues, and a completely decked-out main house. It was so thoughtful and creative, and we had an absolute blast.”
