Our centre in Ballycastle has been a safe place of meeting, encounter and dialogue since 1965. Most most of our accommodation and meeting spaces have recently been rebuilt and caters for all levels of guest expectations.
The Centre has lots of open green space and paths for ocean view walks, picnics and outdoor pursuits. People rarely leave Corrymeela unmoved. For some, visiting Corrymeela is life-changing, for others, it is just really good fun. Whatever the reaction, nobody ever forgets the time they went to Corrymeela.
There is something unique and special about this place. Perhaps it is the magnificent ocean views, or the spacious six-acre grounds and gardens, or the genuine welcome and hospitality. Corrymeela is not a hotel, or conference centre. We are a community of Christians committed to a shared future, peace and reconciliation.
The Corrymeela centre is a wonderful place to relax and reflect. Go to one of the quiet corners of the site, look out over the sea, or along the coast where the Glens of Antrim sweep into the sea.We are less than two miles from the beautiful town of Ballycastle and can transport you in and out of the town for shopping or social time in the evening.
We are experienced in hosting youth groups, schools, families, community groups, churches, international groups, and senior citizens. We can plan with you a customized programme of activities to make your visit special depending on your goals and needs. We also welcome and accommodate self-programming groups.
This is the added value of Corrymeela, the part that challenges, inspires, and creates the fun; the part that provokes thoughts, and discussions, the part that really changes people’s outlook.
Corrymeela is an extra-special place. You will meet special people here, and do special things. Your group will leave relaxed, refreshed, and hopefully inspired, and challenged.
The Centre additionally offers a wide range of meeting and creative spaces:
The Croí building is the heart of the Centre and has three separate spaces for smaller groups or can easily be adapted into a large conference area that can hold up to 155 people. It is a unique space designed for spiritual reflection, meetings and social activities.
The Tara complex is a wonderful creative and social space comprised of three separate units; an arts and craft room, a recreation area and a social gathering space for discos, karaoke and meeting space.
The Tara unit is fully accessible and has a laundry facility for guests. Enclosed gardens with seating. Soccer, basketball and play areas. Two enclosed and safe play grounds – one suitable for toddlers and the other for older children.
Our accommodation in Ballycastle has 86 beds in two separate units. The main house accommodates 52, and the village 34 beds. Each unit has separate dining and meeting facilities, but groups often share the communal dining experience in the main house.
