"An architectural Jack-in-the-Box"

Afternoon Tea at Red Hall

1st August 2026

Redhall is a building full of surprises. Charles Brett, in his Buildings of Co. Antrim, describes it as ‘an architectural jack-in-the-box.’ Despite its deceptive exterior, the core of Redhall dates to the early 17th century and contains a rare oak staircase and equally rare plasterwork.
