A closer look
A place with character.
Drenagh sits on 1,000 acres of woodland and gardens outside Limavady, with a demesne dating from the 18th century. It keeps a one wedding per day policy, and the couple and guests have the whole house.
Civil ceremonies can be held in the Moon Garden, seating up to 140, or inside the Georgian house for up to 100. Receptions go into a glass-fronted marquee in the 19th century walled garden with space for 270. Estate hire includes 12 bedrooms sleeping 24.
