Did you know we have started doing paintball - the kind that hurts?? Brilliant fun for age 16 and over, it’s the perfect addition to our activity offering. Organising a hen or stag, a birthday or corporate outing? We can do a half or full day of paintball or mix it with other activities, and give you a delicious lunch or supper afterwards. Less than half an hour from Belfast.

A throwback to a beautiful wedding in August, wher

A throwback to a beautiful wedding in August, where the sun had gone on holiday, but the warmth and love shone through! Alan and Georgia chose a fabulous team of suppliers - including a band where the groom’s father was a member! The amazing @ivylanefloraldesign did the flower circle, and bouquets, @cksrustic provided the dramatic drapes in the Green Barn, @starcarhire for the fabulous Chevrolet, and Conor from Sizzlen BBQ (normally seen at St George’s Market) cooked up a feast (his first served indoors!) The cake maker, @sugarlaneartisancakes deserves a special shout-out as a near accident on the way meant the cake arrived a little battered, but after nearly two hours of work, it was as good as new! To round off the evening, the Hillbilly Biltong band had everyone up on their feet, and it being outdoors, dancing the night away!

A memorable and beautiful wedding at the end of August. Still warm enough to sit outside, the courtyard between the barns made a wonderful dining area, and, later on, a dance floor!

That look says it all! We’ve finally done it!! After a few date changes, Gavin and Rachel tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony on our back lawn. It was nip and tuck as to whether it would be outside as it rained most of the morning, but finally the clouds cleared and the sun even made an appearance! The barn looked amazing for their evening reception, meal and dancing (yes, 💃🏼 dancing 🕺🏼) The ceiling drapes and lights were by the fabulous @c.k.rusticdecor

We were delighted to host a seminar on the voluntary carbon market on Tuesday morning. Our new tree planting this year has the potential to capture over 300 tonnes of carbon over 60 years. @talyllynrailway in Snowdonia have purchased this carbon to offset their output from their steam trains. Aerial view from March. @forestcarbon_uk did a fascinating presentation followed by a walk around our trees, and a delicious lunch from @tablefood.co

Great evening for all the families from Glenwherry

Great evening for all the families from Glenwherry Presbyterian Church. There was a gripping, grudge football match, archery, paintball, assault course (kids do love the tunnel!) and trikes, so something for everyone. And to fuel the activities, Will’s Grill chip van and delicious ice creams from @_graceful_goodies_ provided the necessary!

It was all about the lights! Well, not quite but they were a strong feature for Paul and Liz yesterday. We loved the Finnegans sign, and the banner, and the festoon lights in the paper lanterns looked fabulous both by day and night. And what about that photo backdrop from @selfiesolutionsni ??

Two very different but equally beautiful outdoor ceremonies this weekend. First up was Alison and Chris on Friday with a beautiful setup on our Box Lawn with our flower circle, wood slices and candles. Today Liz and Paul tied the knot with @johnfoleycelebrant taking the ceremony, on the back lawn. The fabulous arch is from @lookeventsni and the light up letters from @selfiesolutionsni

Denise and Paidi after their beautiful ceremony in the field overlooking the lake, captured when they turned to look back at their guests. Their children had hung hearts in the trees to mark the route. Such a beautiful day ❤️

Things are definitely looking up! In fact there were several reasons to look up at yesterday’s beautiful wedding of Jess and Chris. First the amazing origami cranes that filled the space above guests’ heads in the barn. Made by the bride with the help of her pupils, the birds symbolise longevity and peace in Japanese culture. Out in the courtyard the paper lanterns made a fabulous space for guests to mingle during day and to dance at night. It was a wonderful day!

Denise and Paidi had a beautiful, intimate ceremony at the top of the field where we’ve planted a forest this year. Overlooking Tildarg dam, with trees behind, it’s such a beautiful location. As it involved a walk through the woods to get there, @racheltomanmusician decided that the best way to transport her equipment was by wheelbarrow!
