Hen & Stag Parties at Walsh’s

Make your celebration your own at Walsh’s Hotel. Whether you are planning a laid-back hen weekend, a stag getaway full of activities, or simply a brilliant excuse to bring everyone together, we can help you build a group stay that suits your plans, budget and pace.

Stay together in the hotel, nearby apartments, our riverside Mill Lodge cabins or the beautifully restored Linen House, then choose the food, drinks, entertainment and experiences that make the weekend memorable. Finish the evening with great food in Helena’s Bistro and live entertainment in Jack’s Bar every Saturday night.

Build Your Perfect Package

Choose as much—or as little—as you like to create a celebration that feels right for your group.

Stay your way

Choose the accommodation that works best for your group:

  • Hotel bedrooms, including quad and triple rooms plus our new Sleepwell room for the larger option, with bed and breakfast.
  • Self-catering cabins beside the Culnady River, with two- and three-bedroom options, private hot tubs and fire-pit area.
  • The Linen House, a beautifully restored private Edwardian house in Upperlands, with nine en-suite bedrooms, generous living space and room for up to 18 guests. With an outdoor hot tub.
  • Apartments beside the hotel for added flexibility.

Groups staying in the cabins or Linen House can arrange a complimentary pre-booked shuttle to and from the hotel when dining in Helena’s Bistro or enjoying drinks in Jack’s Bar, subject to availability.

Food, Drinks & Celebrations

Start the night in style—or make a full day of it—with sociable dining and drinks options for every kind of celebration.

  • Full Irish Breakfast in Helena’s Bistro.
  • Three-course group dinner, with an option to include a glass of wine, beer or soft drink.
  • Afternoon Tea with homemade savoury treats, sweet bakes, tea or coffee and a glass of Prosecco.
  • Bottomless Brunch for a lively lunch with friends.
  • Cocktail Classes, where your group can make two cocktails, enjoy party games and share plenty of laughs.
  • Welcome touches such as chocolates in the room, Prosecco, cocktails, jugs and pre-arranged shots.

Jack’s Bar is open Friday to Sunday until 1 am, with live entertainment every Saturday night—ideal for rounding off your celebrations on the dance floor.

New: Serenity Wellness Garden

Add a different kind of highlight to your hen or stag stay with a group session at the new Serenity Wellness Garden, located within the grounds of Walsh’s Hotel.

This outdoor social-wellness experience gives your group time to recover, recharge and enjoy something a little different together. Move at your own pace between two bespoke saunas, two luxury hot tubs, four individual ice baths and relaxing outdoor spaces. It is a brilliant choice for the morning after, a pre-dinner reset or a memorable centrepiece for a more relaxed celebration. Serenity sessions last 60 minutes; group and private-hire options are available. Guests should bring swimwear; we will provide the robe, towel and wet sandals.

Add Adventure

For groups looking to get out and about, we can help you add an activity before returning to Walsh’s for food, drinks, and entertainment.

  • The Jungle — choose from treetop adventure, team building and llama trekking, or opt for paintball, laser tag and clay pigeon shooting.
  • Splash — take on the lake’s rides and slides, including the Beast, with wetsuit, buoyancy aid and grip socks provided.
  • Bann River Boat Tours — enjoy a private two-hour boat trip from Portglenone or Toome, with space for nibbles and drinks.
  • The Bake House Experience — create traditional Irish bakes, enjoy your own afternoon tea and take home a treat box.

A 13-seater bus can also be arranged for external activities, subject to minimum numbers and advance booking.

Good to Know

Packages are tailored to your group, so prices depend on the accommodation, food, drinks and activities you select. Most group experiences require advance booking, minimum numbers and a £15 per-person non-refundable/non-transferable deposit. Some activities have their own minimum and maximum group sizes, so early planning is recommended.

Create a weekend that is relaxed, adventurous, glamorous—or a little bit of everything—at Walsh’s Hotel.
