The Place for your business events

Escape to the country and hold your business event in the tranquil atmosphere of historic Penshurst Place & Gardens.

Our facilities are also highly suitable for lecture lunches, dinners, talks and seminars.

One of England’s most beautiful country properties, this privately owned 14th century manor house can provide an enchanting and unique setting for your meeting, conference, product launch or other corporate occasion.

Set in the lovely Weald of Kent countryside, the house is conveniently located just 42 miles from central London and within easy reach of South East’s transport links.

The medieval Baron’s Hall - which has welcomed many Royal, noble and famous figures over the centuries - is available for hire and there can be few more impressive ways to entertain colleagues, delegates and guests. The towering beamed ceiling, Minstrel’s Gallery and rare octagonal central hearth make great talking points and provide a palpable sense of history.

The light and attractive Sunderland Room offers an elegant setting for meetings and formal dinners, while small business groups can enjoy more intimate meetings and meals in the cosy Buttery, with its rich tapestries and open log fire in winter.

Penshurst Place also makes a destination for outdoor pursuits, which can be arranged in the beautiful grounds.

Our caterer, Leith's, can provide you with a range of menus, including buffets, finger food and more formal fine dining.

Once owned by King Henry VIII, Penshurst Place has been the ancestral home of the Sidney family for more than 450 years and is currently owned by Philip Sidney, 2nd Viscount De L’Isle MBE.

With its fascinating history, Penshurst Place is a quintessential English country house - an ideal venue to impress.

Whether you are a local business wishing to showcase the best Kent has to offer, or coming from further afield in search of the perfect country retreat, Penshurst Place can meet your business needs and we aim to exceed expectations.
