Lisnavagh House

Lisnavagh House is a historic country estate in County Carlow available for weddings, private celebrations, corporate events and residential retreats. The 19th-century Tudor Gothic house sits among woodland, parkland and gardens, offering organisers a secluded setting with space to gather and stay together. Its characterful surroundings and exclusive-use approach make it especially suited to couples and groups looking for a private country-house occasion rather than a conventional hotel function room.

Wedding ceremonies can take place in two distinctive locations on the estate: the tree-canopied Yew Walk and the circular Brick Barn. The venue is licensed for civil ceremonies, and the ceremony spaces can also be hired separately when a couple plans to hold the reception elsewhere. For a larger celebration or a more intimate wedding, organisers can discuss arrangements with the house team, who provide guidance during the planning process. Food arrangements depend on the event, with recommended independent caterers and a house kitchen option for micro weddings.

The property also welcomes business groups for private entertaining, strategy sessions, meetings and professional celebrations. Its residential retreats offer a change of pace for groups seeking time to rest, practise wellness activities or spend time together on the estate. The main house has seven individually styled bedrooms, with further accommodation available in the nearby Stables Courtyard. Gardens, grounds and shared indoor spaces help create a setting for multi-day gatherings, while the estate’s location near Rathvilly places it within reach of major routes from Dublin. Event requirements and available spaces can be discussed directly with the Lisnavagh team.
