Venue 4 at The Bastion

Venue 4 at The Bastion is a flexible, intimate venue in Athlone’s historic Left Bank quarter, suitable for organisers looking for a practical space for smaller gatherings. The approximately 60 square metre room can be hired by the hour, for half a day or for a full day, with the layout adapted to suit the occasion.

The space works well for meetings, presentations, workshops, exhibitions, classes and pop-up office use. Organisers can choose an open arrangement or request tables and chairs, depending on the format of the event. Natural daylight gives the room a welcoming feel, while blinds can be closed when a more private setting is required. The venue also has toilet facilities, a sink area, drinking water and a kettle.

Venue 4 has a clear focus on intimate ceremonies and small celebrations. Its dedicated wedding offering is designed for groups of up to 25 people, with options for legal, humanist, interfaith, spiritualist and family-led ceremonies. The space can also host vow renewals, baby blessings and naming ceremonies. Champagne after the ceremony can be accommodated, although the venue does not provide space for wedding receptions or after-parties.

Located close to the River Shannon, King John’s Castle, local restaurants, cafés and pubs, the venue is convenient for guests and organisers. Nearby accommodation is available, while on-street parking and local car parks make access straightforward. Venue 4 is a strong choice for small-scale events that need a central location, adaptable room layout and a warm, personal atmosphere.
