On the day
What You Need to Know
The barn will be available from the day before your event, to allow for deliveries, decorating and setting up and until midday on the following day to remove any remaining items. You can choose whether to bring your own food, hire your choice of caterers, or we are more than happy to arrange catering on your behalf with one of our preferred caterers.
The downstairs room also makes a great dancing space so the party can carry on, with your choice of band or DJ. Breckenhill has a wedding licence for Civil Marriages and Partnerships, meaning you and your guests can relax in one venue on your day.
Boring but important:
Registrars allocate a limited time period for weddings so if you are very late they may have to go to another ceremony!
Toilets – if your numbers are large you may need extra toilets which we can hire for you
Parking is partly in the yard and partly along private avenue – for large numbers we can use the fishery car park
Taxis – do remember to tell guests to book their taxis in advance
Leaving the party – we find it is best for the bride & groom to leave before the end so that are not swept out!
The barn will be available the next day for clearing up – if there is an event the day after next we would need you to clear up by 12:00
Magnet fishing game at last week’s shared education day, lots of shouting and laughter!
It was a very interesting and informative day and great to see all the other activity businesses and catch up. Thanks Tollymore, and OutdoorNI for organising.The sky may have been overcast at the centre today, but there was still plenty of learning at our 'Outdoor Development Seminar' which gave people working in the outdoors an insight into the recent developments in the industry. Plenty of food for thought on licensing and working partnerships.

The cube is dead, long live the cube! Contrary to rumours, the cube has survived the winter, and is all ready for our shared education group of 156 kids tomorrow! Might be a last outing though.....
