Killruddery is a splendid venue for a wide variety of events.   The elegant formal rooms look onto the magnificent south facing 17th century gardens for which the property is so well known.   The Orangery was designed and built in 1852 by William Burn after the fashion of the Crystal Palace in London.   It houses a collection of exquisite marble statues which depict Cupid and Venus amongst others.   Jasmine, passion flower and lemon verbena scent the air and views look south towards the Long Ponds (extant from the original 17th Century landscaping) and west over the 19th Century Parterre complete with pond and cherub fountain.   Beyond is the Little Sugar Loaf mountain.
