Wedding Open Evening

Thursday 18th June | 6.00pm - 9.00pm | RSVP here to confirm your attendance

As dusk settles around historic sandstone walls, and birdsong fills the hazy gardens, we invite you to explore our unique venue in the Weald of Kent countryside. Hidden amongst rolling historic parkland but easily accessible by major routes.

Meet our recommended suppliers, enjoy a glass of fizz and sample our canapes as you get a tantalising sense for your wedding at Penshurst Place and Gardens. Once owned by Henry VIII, Penshurst Place has been hosting banquets and celebrations for centuries, and weddings for over 30 years.

Whether you're looking to say "I do" beneath our 16th century garden tower, the 60 feet high chestnut beamed ceiling, or surrounded by trailing wisteria and climbing roses in the Nut Garden, Penshurst Place has a ceremony and reception space to bring your vision to life.

Join us on Thursday 18th June, and discover our charming countryside venue for yourself.
