What is Thornhill Centre?
Thornhill Centre is a unique facility in the North West region of Ireland. Situated on the banks of the River Foyle, just 3 miles outside the historic city of Derry, it is a resource distinguished by the majesty of its grounds and the fine accommodation and tasteful décor in the house.
While there is a specific ministry project emanating from the Centre, its facilities are available for conferences and other uses by arrangement. Individuals, particularly those seeking reflective time and space, may enjoy the warmth, comfort and openness that the Centre affords.
