The Downshire Civic Centre, situated on the grounds of the former Downshire Hospital, currently serves as the central hub for the Newry, Mourne, and Down District Council in Downpatrick. This purposeful facility boasts three conference suites, providing ample space for various events and functions. Additionally, it features six meeting rooms, offering versatility for smaller gatherings, and dedicated business spaces to support administrative activities. The transformation of the site from the former hospital into the civic centre underscores its adaptive reuse, now playing a key role in the governance and administration of the local district.
