The Place for Groups

 

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful day we had at Penshurst yesterday.  The gardens are so beautiful even at the close of summer and we managed to wander around whilst the sun was still out. The Baron’s Hall, Solar, Tapestry Room and Long Gallery were fascinating, especially as the guides were so helpful and generous with their time and knowledge.

After a group visit in August 2012

Groups wishing to visit Penshurst Place and Gardens have two options, either pre-booking a guided tour or a non-guided/freeflow visit.

Groups of 15 or more people qualify for the group rate. For fewer numbers please contact us for prices.

For non-guided groups, the house opens at 12 noon. There are information cards available for each room in English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Japanese, as well as knowledgeable Room Stewards on hand to answer questions.

• Group leaders are welcome to visit in advance of their group visit.
  
• Coach drivers are entitled to free admission and receive a refreshment voucher, for our Garden Tea Room.

We recommend you book your refreshments in our Garden Tea Room - we have set lunch menus available for groups as well as our delicious Penshurst Place cream tea. Please see our Group Menus section for details.
