About this venue

On Hitched.co.uk since 2023

Last update: October 2026

Set across 60 acres of private Sussex countryside near Tunbridge Wells, LIMEKILN is an exclusive-use wedding venue in East Sussex for people who want to do things a little differently. Think drinks receptions overlooking wildflower meadows, ceremonies in ancient woodland, and feasts in thoughtfully designed dining spaces. Designed by Red Deer, the creative studio behind Lina Stores and St John, the private-hire lodge is available for weddings, parties and takeovers.

Inside, you’ll find a dining space for up to 200 guests, a main bar and lounge, a dedicated ceremony space and the Green Club, a late-night lounge made for live music and dancing. Everything flows around an open-air courtyard. A split-level Apartment is yours from 8am on the wedding day, with room for around 15 people to get ready.

Prefer to marry outdoors? Ceremonies can take place on the South Lawn, in the Courtyard or in the ancient woodland from April to September, weather permitting, with Alder Room, seating up to 180 guests, as a light, airy back-up if it rains. With indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces and characterful rooms, it’s easy to create a wedding that feels personal and entirely yours.

We work with Kalm Kitchen, who share our approach: delicious food made with the best seasonal produce, and wholesome ingredients from local suppliers.

LIMEKILN is a 50-minute train ride from London Bridge and a 15-minute drive from Tunbridge Wells station.

Beautiful venue & amazing team

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue, from the moment we started planning with Hannah, Georgie, and Isla, through to the wedding day itself, the entire team were incredible to work with. They were organised, attentive, and always on hand to help, and made our whole experience feel so easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

On the day, everything ran flawlessly, allowing Will and I to really relax and soak up every moment with our friends and family. The team went above and beyond on our wedding day to look after us and answered every request where they could. Their attention to detail and organisation was exceptional, coming from myself who works in the event industry! They kept us calm throughout the day and made us feel completely looked after from start to finish, we couldn't have been happier.

A special shout out to Hannah, Maisie, Georgie, and Jude, they were all amazing, especially in the moments before and during the ceremony.

My wife and I wanted a venue that combined unique design, chic rooms and ample space to complement our vision of a glitzy, black tie, dining-focused wedding, and, well, Limekiln absolutely delivered. Limekiln allows the day to progress from room to room, offering each moment a different feel and texture. The ceremony room (Alder) is sleek, minimal and gave the florists the chance to be imaginative. The big windows in both Alder and Poplar provide a cool frame with which to work. The knockout feature is the bar area, with its comfortable seating, fire, and very, very cool cocktail bar (the guests loved the venue, but all said they were blown away by the bar). The Poplar room is the perfect place to dine, and we were both thrilled with how it came together; it looked stunning, particularly under candlelight. The Green Room (where the band played) is a secret, speakeasy kind of room, which is great fun to be in. But the success of the design meant that guests could dance and groove, yet return to the bar, where they could also relax and chat with a cocktail, without being drowned out by the band. As with any fashionable spot, it is the small touches, the attention to detail that forms the feeling of style, and Limekiln is incredibly stylish.

But the day was, of course, truly made by the fantastic team at Limekiln. We can, honestly, not speak highly enough of the people, particularly Isla and Jake, who brought the day to life. In the build-up, we felt welcome, in safe-hands, and genuinely special. Communication was excellent every step of the way. Isla and Jake are caring people, and I think this is Limekiln’s real strength. On the day itself, we didn’t want for anything, it all managed with a cool efficiency by Isla. We were just left to enjoy the day itself, without any stress or anxiety. We both say a big thank you!

Limekiln, we are both so very happy we spent the big day with you, and we wish we could do it all again. Bravo. No doubt many couples will feel the same way.

Limekiln’s first wedding

Words can’t really describe the feeling that takes over when you walk into LimeKiln. Despite seeing this first as a part construction site, we always knew this is where we would get married.

The team at LimeKiln were professional and kept to all our agreed timelines for having the venue ready on time, the surrounding greenery and florals were alive and ready for our wedding and the venue was simply perfection. No detail missed.

The venue staff were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process and we cannot thank you enough for making our journey to marriage, despite the extremely tight timelines, an easy and enjoyable one.

Carline, Sarah, Hannah and Isla, along with the rest of the team, you are superb. Thank you for everything.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
