Game of Thrones in Northern Ireland

Experience Game of Thrones with Hastings Hotels

HBO’s award-winning television series Game Of Thrones was filmed in the areas surrounding Ballygally Castle, with cast and crew from the series frequently found relaxing at one of our luxury hotels. Explore the Seven Kingdoms in all their natural beauty right here in Northern Ireland and stay iright on the doorstep of some of the most memorable filming locations.

The stunning scenery within the Causeway Coast and Glens was used to represent everything from Winterfell to the King’s Road, The Iron Islands to Stormlands. Now you can stand on the spot where Lannisters schemed, stroll in the footsteps of the Starks, and gaze on grasslands crossed by the Dothraki horde.

Around County Down you can visit arguably the most iconic scene locations. Walk where the White Walkers first appeared (and also where the Starks discovered the direwolves), join Team Stark at Winterfell, take part in the battle at Rob Starks camp, step foot where the ‘Red Wedding’ unfolded and pay your respects to the Tullys when arriving at Riverrun.

In Banbridge, step inside the world of Game of Thrones at the official Game of Thrones Studio Tour, exploring authentic sets, original costumes, iconic props and immersive displays, and discover the incredible craftsmanship that brought the Seven Kingdoms to life. Guest can enjoy 20% off admission tickets and Belfast or Dublin return transfer packages when booking online here.
