For most of the year, our barns are part of the working farm storing wood, hay and farm equipment but during the summer, for a limited number of exclusive events, we transform the barns into a unique events space.
Our Turf Barn, Wood Barn and Swallow Barn are set on a private 200 acre estate so they are exclusively yours for your special day. This means you will have a truly unique experience, unlike hotels or other venues. Adjacent to the barns is the family home of the Kitchin family as well as mature gardens, walled garden, vegetable garden, woodlands and a lake brimming with wildlife.
Juniper Barn is located on the Newpark Demesne. For further information on Newpark, please refer to www.ihh.ie and www.secretgardensofsligo.com
Juniper offers a canvas to people for the location of their wedding. Juniper Barn consists of three unique barns, all original stone barns with exposed wooden rafters and traditional slate roof. The Turf Barn is located in the Kitchen Yard and is ideal for beautiful ceremonies surrounded by natural stone and soft lighting. Original timber doors and windows, a wooden ‘altar’ and candles create a truly atmospheric space for special occasions and ceremonies.
The Wood Barn is a short stroll through the gardens in the Georgian courtyard and seats 110 comfortably on long handmade wooden trestle tables. This barn has a beautiful setting adjacent to mature woodlands and the lake for those all important photos.
Attached to the Wood Barn on another side of the courtyard is the Swallow Barn where you can enjoy evening activities. All the barns are double height with exposed wooden rafters, fires and beautiful stone. Each barn reflects it’s original farm use and even the original hay racks have been maintained as a unique feature!
Juniper Barn is accessed through the original gates and tree lined avenue.
Our typical capacity is 50-110 people. Our professional staff and members of the Kitchin family will take care of all your needs for your event.
Ceremonies at Juniper Barn
You are welcome to hold your private wedding ceremony at Juniper in our wedding barn in our beautiful woodland ceremony space. The choice is yours!
The Turf Shed is a popular choice for indoor wedding ceremonies with its natural stone walls, candles and exposed wooden rafters. The Turf Shed has a sound system, altar and arched doorways that can be decorated or left simply as is.
Outdoor wedding ceremonies may be held in the woodland glade which offers a green canopy of leaves overhead, bluebells in May and nothing but birdsong to listen to.
There are also many local churches to serve all your religious needs.
