Northern Ireland and a great place for the public to visit. In an exciting new development
the operation of the Castle is being passed from the NIO to Historic Royal Palaces (HRP),
who have an impressive track record in running similar properties. It will continue to act as
a residence but there will be considerable investment to increase public access, improve
the visitor experience significantly and tell the stories of its fascinating history and glorious
gardens. An essential part of this major development is the recruitment of a high calibre
and highly professional team to transform Hillsborough Castle into a ‘must see’ destination.
