Parties
Celebrate at Abercairny in the Thistle Hall, the perfect space for gathering friends and loved ones for a party.
As an exclusive, private hire venue you can let your imagination run free and transform the rooms accordingly: planning to have a 1940’s style tea dance, a traditional roof-raising ceilidh, a golden wedding with a slide show of memories, or a hog roast with line dancing? Come to Abercairny and make it your own!
There’s plenty of parking, lighting, sound and projection system, extra rooms for bars and buffets, and space for your guests to spill outside into the Courtyard. Children and dogs are very welcome and all in a splendid setting.
Please get in touch and we’ll tell you more about the options for holding your party at Abercairny.
Exceptional Perthshire Venue for Occasions & Events
Abercairny is a world away from the blank box of a purpose-built conference room - but offers all the comforts and technology that you’ll need. Meetings really can be memorable if you choose a historic venue that has been refurbished to this high standard.
The location lends itself to bringing people together from across Perthshire, Scotland or beyond. With only a 30-minute drive from both Perth and Stirling, and around an hour to Edinburgh or Glasgow airports, it offers a central and picturesque meeting point. Once here, the tranquillity of the estate is perfect for ensuring your delegates or guests are concentrating on your agenda.
Our versatile venue is ideal for company meetings, where your team can make presentations or brainstorm in a wide variety of spaces with an abundance of natural light, audio visual systems, low consumption radiators and underfloor heating. There are breakout rooms for workshops and The Thistle Hall and Dining Room for larger gatherings and either buffet or sit-down lunches to be served.
Outside acres of garden, parkland, and the wider estate can be hired for team building, vehicle and product launches, photo shoots or corporate family days.
There is a 4 and 5-star hotel and self-catering accommodation just a short drive away including our own Arnbank Cottage.
Being a private hire venue, Abercairny allows your Event Organiser to select their preferred caters and suppliers from our list of Trusted Suppliers.
The varied landscapes of the Estate from the stately ‘policies’ to the wild hills, rivers, and lochs will make a dramatic backdrop for your event. If you are planning a PR or product launch, a press conference, a workshop, a chamber concert, or any other kind of activity please get in touch and challenge us to help you create a unique event.
