A Summer of Midweek Escapes at The Station House Hotel
Midweek Departures at The Station House Hotel is a series of midweek escape packages offering guests a chance to pause, create, and reconnect. Taking place on selected dates throughout the summer, these overnight experiences combine a luxurious stay with immersive, guided workshops inspired by the season, from wellness and artisan food experiences to creative crafts and more.
The Station House Platform Terrace
Set against the backdrop of the Station House’s 12 acres of manicured gardens, woodlands, and the historic Boyne Valley, each escape is designed to help guests step off the fast track this summer. Whether discovering a new hobby, learning a new skill or simply trying something different, guests are invited to slow down, step away from the everyday and feel inspired.
This summer's Midweek Departures include:
24th June – Swainstown Farm to Fork Workshop
Discover the journey from field to fork with an immersive experience celebrating local food, seasonal produce and sustainable farming. Guests will enjoy a hands-on workshop with the team from Swainstown Farm and gain an insight into the rich food heritage of the Boyne Valley.
