The facilities at Thornhill Centre are available for use by individuals, groups and external organisations.  Because of the quality of the décor and the atmosphere within the house, Thornhill Centre is an ideal place for someone who wishes to spend a few days of reflection or time apart.

At the same time, the Centre makes an excellent location for training, development and support programmes and conferences.  It is also suitable for interviews and other occasions where confidentiality is paramount.

Meeting Rooms 

There are two meeting rooms and a library available for gatherings of various sizes.

As with such a stately 19^th-century house, there are other spaces that are often used for break-out groups. The décor is soft and offers much to support the general ambience of comfort and reflection that is sustained throughout the building. During refurbishment, an effort was made to retain many of the original features of the house e.g. fireplaces and period furniture.

Equipment such as a data-projector, screen, laptop, television, DVD and CD players, flip-charts etc is available on request. One of the conference rooms has wireless internet connection.

When the Centre is hired for interview purposes, appropriate conferencing tables are available for the panel.

Conference Room 1:        Capacity - Up to 45 people

Conference Room 2:        Capacity - Up to 20 people

Library/Reading Room

Thornhill Centre has an extensive collection of spiritual reading material.  This particular room has the advantage of a most splendid view as it takes in the full sweep of the River Foyle, with the French doors giving access to the front terrace. 

Catering Facilities

Thornhill Centre provides a wide choice of catering. Groups may have anything from tea/coffee and biscuits to a four-course dinner. The main dining room seats 36 people. When groups are larger (up to 60), the Centre makes use of the adjacent Great Hall.

A full range of catering possibilities, menu choices and fees may be obtained from the Secretary on request.
