Wedding Open Evening

18th Jun from 6.00pm - 9.00pm

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.

24th June | £60 pp | 10.00am - 1pm

Book Now

Join us for a day of learning and hands-on experience in our propagation masterclass. Led by our knowledgeable Head Gardener and Senior Technician Gardener, this class will teach you all the tips and tricks to successfully propagate plants from cuttings, as well as how to cut your plants properly to ensure they thrive for years to come. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this class is perfect for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skills.

After this half day workshop, you'll be able to:

  • Understand the process of propagation by cuttings
  • Identify plant material which will be suitable for the process, and that which isn't
  • Confidently apply the correct techniques to ensure healthy growth for your new plant, and the plant the cuttings have come from

If you have ever left a Garden Centre wondering how to best care for your new purchases, wondered why your apple tree isn't producing fruit, or why your wisteria is a little withery, this is the workshop for you.
