An event at Polhawn Fort is unlike anywhere else.
Spaces
We have an array of spaces inside the Fort, and within the grounds. For more information, click the links below, or contact our team who will be happy to talk you through the options.
In the warmer months, the oak-framed Summerhouse and lawn provide an idyllic space for al fresco events. Positioned cliffside between the Fort and the ocean, guests are greeted with far-reaching views overlooking the secluded cove.
Flooded with natural daylight, the Summerhouse is ideal for smaller events such as meetings, drinks receptions, art exhibitions and wellness classes, while the lawn lends itself to large-scale parties and sit-down dinners. A marquee can also be pitched on the lawn.
Our recommended suppliers know the Fort inside out and will be happy to arrange a site visit to talk through the plans for your event and suggest the most suitable options.

Summerhouse + Lawn
For indoor events, The Fort offers two inviting spaces. Larger parties can be hosted in the Grand Napoleonic Hall seating up to 120 guests, while the Ocean Room is ideal for small, intimate events for up to 30 guests.
The warm, earthy tones of the Fort’s natural stone provide a blank canvas backdrop. Style the space with elaborate decorations or keep it elegantly understated. The choice is yours.

The Fort’s Halls
Perfect for pre or post ceremony gatherings, The Terrace is a stretch-tent space on the roof of the Fort. Decorated with fairy lights and surrounded by lush vegetation, it’s the ideal place to relax and reminisce.
Due to our coastal location and occasional strong winds, there may be times when The Terrace is unavailable. Guests will be notified 24 hours before your event should adverse weather conditions affect the use of the space.
