What to Do

Activities in the Area

We can’t wait for you to join us at this centuries old venue. We’ll get to add our story to the gardens, galleries, and ball rooms this venue has offered through the generations

EAT & DRINK

Lisnaskea is a small town just outside the island grounds with bakeries, groceries, and classic Irish Pubs. We’ll provide the wedding food and drinks, but for the other days on the grounds outside food and drinks are allowable on site! The castle and cottages all offer a kitchen for all of our guests to use throughout our stay on the Island.

PLAY

The images above show a few of the island’s many options and activities. Large grass fields, sunken gardens, and a lakeside dock for water sports. Kayaks, stand up paddles, and games will be available for guests during our three night stay on the island.

EXPLORE

The island is home to a variety of nature walks and lake scenery. The beauty and greenery of Northern Ireland is unparalleled, and we strongly encourage our guests to travel before and after our three day stay on the island. To learn more about our favorite parts of the UK/Europe, go to FAQ!
