Brook Hall, Horse Park, Magheragall, Lisburn.

Brook Hall is a totally unique Northern Ireland wedding venue, situated in the Brookhall Estate and Brookhall Historical Farm.

 The Brook Hall is a restored 12th century church building, (no longer used as a practising church)  The first occupants on the site date to around 1000 B.C.  The building originally had a round tower but  most of this was taken down in  1790. Silver coins dating to Elizabeth 1 (1558-1603) and Charles 1 (1625-1649) were found in and around the church building.

The building has been lovingly restored.  Its interior shows the wonderful restored stonework and still conveys that feeling of awe and wonder at the history it holds, yet imparts such peace and calm.

There is a path leading from the church building to what was called  a ‘Holy Well’. It was typical of that period when sacred curative properties were attributed to its waters.  Such wells survived up to recent times, becoming known as Sunday wells since this was the popular day to take of the ‘healing waters’. Scraps of cloth were used for dipping in the waters and hung on the surrounding hedges as a testimony to the visit.  Today the old building oozes charm and character and represents a totally unique experience in wedding venues, providing the perfect intimate family setting for a wedding to remember.

 Brook Hall is surrounded by the truly romantic estate grounds, which includes, the secret garden, a fantastic fountain, Brookhall lake, the ancient well and acres of beautiful farm and parkland, all of which represent idyllic photographic opportunities for that special day. 

The restored church building is stone built and provides that intimate and romantic setting second to none.
