Annalong, County Down
Our home in Northern Ireland.
At the foot of the Mourne Mountains, beside Annalong harbour, our campus gives people a place to live, learn and spend time together. Its setting between Belfast and Dublin connects local life with opportunities across the island.
Friends Forever Europe purchased the centre in April 2019. It has since become a home for international youth programmes, local teams, alumni and visiting organisations.

Four cottages
French, Connor, Caswell and Baroni offer a separate place to stay beside the campus. Compare layouts, accessibility and individual cottage details when booking.
Meetings and day visits
Bring your organisation for a planning day, workshop or community gathering. Ask about room arrangements, catering, access requirements and rates.
Our Europe and UK hub
A place to practise leadership together.
Young people from across Ireland, the UK, Europe, the United States and beyond have lived and learned here. Local teams use the centre for team and community activities, and alumni return to keep developing their skills.
Northern Ireland’s history and communities are part of that learning. Through conversations, shared responsibilities and time with local organisations, participants explore how to listen across differences and build trust.
Beyond the campus
The coast, the village and the Mournes.
Make time for the harbour, local walks and the surrounding mountains. Ask us about building local activities into your group’s stay.
