Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle is a distinctive event venue in the Kent countryside, offering organisers an exceptional setting for corporate meetings, conferences, training days, retreats, private celebrations and weddings. Located near Maidstone and around an hour from London, the estate combines historic architecture, landscaped gardens and more than 500 acres of parkland.

Event organisers can choose from several spaces, each with its own character and capacity. The Castle provides elegant rooms for board meetings, presentations, dinners and smaller conferences. The Maiden’s Tower offers a private and characterful setting with meeting rooms, a garden and overnight accommodation. The Garden House is suited to smaller seminars and boardroom meetings, while Battel Hall provides an exclusive base for executive retreats and residential gatherings. The Gatehouse and Fairfax Barn add further options for private events, company celebrations, awards dinners and seasonal parties. Outdoor lawns are also available for larger marquee occasions.

Leeds Castle supports both day and residential events, with room hire, Wi-Fi, refreshments, dining, accommodation and on-site parking available through suitable packages. Organisers can also arrange team activities on the estate, including falconry, golf, Segway tours and other group experiences. A preferred supplier network can assist with catering, flowers, lighting and sound.

For weddings, the venue offers several distinct settings, including the Castle, Battel Hall, Maiden’s Tower, Fairfax Barn and outdoor locations. Its historic interiors, gardens, water views and accommodation make it suitable for intimate ceremonies as well as larger receptions. The dedicated events team works with organisers to shape conferences, celebrations and weddings around their requirements.
