Autumn at The Estate


Even when there are no public events taking place, life at Dripsey Castle is always moving, growing, and inspiring. We love to share a glimpse behind the scenes with our guests and community.

Our 150-year-old orchard comes alive each autumn as the apple harvest begins. The fruit is carefully hand-picked and pressed into our small-batch estate apple juice — a tradition that connects Dripsey’s heritage to the present day and continues to delight our guests.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From the organic produce grown in our gardens to the hydroelectric power that runs the estate, we are proud to offer experiences that tread lightly on the earth while delivering the highest standard of luxury.

The Manor House itself is part of the story. Ongoing restoration work preserves its heritage and ensures that each detail reflects the elegance and charm of the estate’s past, while creating an inspiring setting for the future.

Dripsey Castle Estate is also a place for gatherings. Whether for an intimate celebration, a corporate retreat, or a family reunion, the estate provides a setting where history lives and memories are made.

Watch this space as we add exciting new events at the castle.
