Venue Hire for Parties
We love to host a party and whatever your budget we have a choice of rooms to suit the size of your party from 50 to 500 people. The Emerald Hall seats 200 (300 standing) and has a large balcony overlooking the playing fields, the Emerald Lounge is more intimate and seats 100 (200 standing). For bigger events we can remove the partition wall to create one big room for up to 300 seated (500 standing. We also have staging that can be used for a band or DJ and a giant projector screen in the Hall that can be used for videos or photo montages. From christenings to first communions and bar mitzvahs, children’s birthday parties, big birthday parties, school proms, engagement parties, wedding anniversaries, retirement parties, leaving parties, wakes, memorials and Christmas parties, frankly give us any possible reason to celebrate and we will be ready to don our party hats and pop open the bubbly.

“Where do I begin? From start to finish Paul Buffery, the banqueting manager at McGovern Park had everything under control – he was friendly, unflappable, and extremely helpful. He helped me arrange an amazing party with ‘A Night At The Oscars’ theme. We had a red carpet, photographer, movie cut outs, balloon arches, champagne fountains, a magic mirror, a magician, a sweet cart, a DJ and 150 guests. The night could not have gone better and with the help of Paul and his amazing staff I could not have wished for a better night. The food was gorgeous, the venue was amazing, clean, tidy, and well maintained. Paul delivered on everything. Lots of people who came to my party said they would have a party at McGovern Park – thank you so much to Paul and all the wonderful, friendly, helpful staff. I wish I could have a party like this every year!!”
