Ballygally
Ballygally Castle
A castle built in 1625 on the Antrim coast road, facing the sea, with one wedding a day.
Ireland
A castle estate near Loughguile with an 18th century Coach House and a barn, one event a day.

A closer look
Lissanoure sits beside Lough Guile near the Glens of Antrim. The estate never holds two events on the same day, so the Coach House, the Castle Barn and the courtyard between them are yours.
The 18th century Coach House has three reception rooms with open fires and a dining room that seats up to 100. Larger weddings move to the Castle Barn for dinner and dancing. Both buildings have fitted kitchens for your caterer and a licensed bar.

Planning facts
For guests travelling in. Driving times are by road without traffic, from Lissanoure Castle, so allow more at busy times.
Railway stations are those on the Irish Rail network, and the nearest by road is not always the best connection. Check the timetable before you plan a guest's day around a train.
OpenStreetMap lists 3 places to stay within 10 km of Loughguile, and 36 within 20 km. Distances are in a straight line, not drive times.
OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and is thinner in rural areas, so treat these counts as a minimum and check booking sites for your dates. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, updated October 2026.
