Private Group Dining · Donegal
First Communion and Confirmation are occasions that belong to the whole family — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and everyone who has watched a child grow. The morning begins in the church. What follows should be worthy of it.
Rockhill House Estate offers The Church for exclusive private hire — a remarkable setting for large group celebrations in the beautiful grounds of a 17th-century country estate in County Donegal.

Private Hire AND Large Groups
The Church at Rockhill House is a striking and atmospheric space set within the estate grounds, available for private group hire for large Communion and Confirmation celebrations. For a day that began in a church, there is something particularly fitting about gathering in a space like this — and families notice it the moment they arrive.
Directly behind The Church, the pond area and its surrounding grounds give children space to move freely while families gather. It is a setting that feels genuinely different from a hotel function room — open, beautiful in every season, and with the character of an estate that has been welcoming people for over three centuries.
For very large groups, the lower section of The Church can be reserved on an exclusive basis — giving your party complete privacy and sole use of that space for the duration of your celebration.
Dates in May and June fill quickly — we recommend getting in touch early to avoid disappointment.

Tailored Menus
Our kitchen works with locally sourced produce and can build a menu around the occasion and your guests — from a formal sit-down lunch to a relaxed afternoon reception. Children’s menus available.
Exclusively Yours
The Church takes large group bookings throughout the Communion and Confirmation season. For the very largest gatherings, the lower section can be reserved exclusively — yours alone, for the full duration of your celebration, with our team’s complete attention.
The Pond Area & Grounds
The pond area directly behind The Church gives children space to roam and families room to spread out. In good weather, the grounds become a natural part of the afternoon — something a hotel function room simply cannot offer.
A Warm Welcome
We are a family who runs this house. The welcome at Rockhill is genuine — attentive without being intrusive, warm without being familiar. Your guests will feel it from the moment they arrive at the gates.
The Food
The food at Rockhill House is not an afterthought. Our kitchen works from the estate’s walled kitchen garden and from trusted local producers — farmers, fishers, and artisan makers across Donegal whose ingredients our chefs know and rely on.
For a Communion or Confirmation lunch, we build a menu that suits the occasion and the range of your guests — generous, seasonal, and genuinely good. It is the kind of food families still talk about on the way home.
To Make a Booking
For all Communion and Confirmation enquiries and bookings, please call us directly. We will confirm availability, discuss your group size and requirements, and guide you through everything from there.
Dates in May and June book up quickly. We recommend getting in touch as early as possible to secure your preferred date.
