Adare Manor, built in 1832, is one of Ireland’s Leading 5* castle resorts situated in the heart of Adare Village in County Limerick just a 30 minute drive from Shannon International Airport. Adare Manor, which is owned by the McManus family, was unveiled following a ground-breaking transformation in November 2017. The largest restoration project of its kind in Ireland, the renovation and expansion included a new 42-bedroom wing, increasing accommodations to a total of 104 guest rooms and a ballroom which can host up to 350 guests. The 842 acres of Adare Manor’s beautiful parkland, walled gardens and walking trails were also enhanced and offer an extensive range of pursuits, including an 18 Hole Tom Fazio designed Golf Course home to the 2027 Ryder Cup, Indoor Padel Tennis, falconry, archery, clay pigeon shooting, gun dog lessons, fishing, horse & carriage tours, La Mer spa, cinema, leisure facilities and more.

Webinar Etiquette
– Test your VIDEO and AUDIO prior to the meeting to make sure everything is working properly. Once the meeting is underway it will be impossible for us to troubleshoot.
– Make sure that you are facing the camera and do not have it facing the side of your face.
– Make sure to mute your line if you are not asking questions.
– Treat this like an “in-person” meeting and make sure you are distraction free.
– Be aware that in a video conference the camera is always on. So if you are distracted, it may be disruptive to others.
