The O’Neill family, which has owned and managed the hotel for over 75 years, is hosting a ‘Gathering of Memories’ event for former guests, customers, friends and employees.
Ahead of the celebration, here’s a selection of photos from the Larne Times archive providing a flavour of the diverse range of events held at the historic location in 2009-10, including a Burns Night celebration, AOH dinner, art workshop, festival in honour of poet John Hewitt and Mystery Treasure Trail.
