Exhibitions

The largest and most prestigious exhibitions in nearly every sector of trade and industry are held at the RDS. Our success lies in total flexibility. No matter how large or small the exhibition, the facilities are easily adapted to allow organisers the choice of size and type of space required for their particular event.

Weddings

Our history and heritage together with our location in Dublin 4, create a unique venue for your special day. Add to this our superior cuisine and the assistance of our experienced wedding team, to make your wedding day even more special. We suggest the President's Room, the Merrion Room and the Minerva Suite, or for bigger weddings, we recommend the Hall 7 (Concert Hall). Each room is accessed from the prestigious Merrion Road entrance with parking available within the grounds.

Sports Events

Sporting events have always been an integral part of the RDS activities. The Main Arena is home to Leinster Rugby and has a covered seating and standing capacity of 18,000 (excluding pitch/grass area) and private boxes for corporate or personal entertainment.

Exams

Our adjoining halls can allow for thousands of students to sit their exams at the same time. We even have smaller adjoining meeting rooms for those students who require a less daunting environment.
