About
The Castle Westenhanger is a charming historic wedding venue located in Lympne, Kent. This property has it all; a medieval castle dating back to the 16th century with a stately Georgian facade nestled in 14 acres of grounds. To-be-weds planning intimate affairs or large parties will find a suitable setting at this versatile venue, which enjoys a rich history and was once King Henry VIII’s preferred party palace.
Facilities and Capacity
The Castle Westenhanger is licensed for both indoor and outdoor civil ceremonies. You can exchange vows outside on the manicured lawns in a thatched, oak-framed gazebo. Or say ‘I do’ inside the manor house, with its Georgian facade adding a stately ambiance to proceedings. The wooden beams and inglenook fire go hand in hand with lavish, wintertime celebrations. Wedding breakfasts for up to 300 guests are held inside the marquee. This airy, bright space features a voile-draped ceiling, chandelier lighting, and full-length windows. Later, loved ones can dance the night away at a reception suitable for a maximum of 300 people. The events team provides a dance floor and live entertainment equipment.
The Castle Westenhanger enjoys one of the largest dressing rooms in Kent, which will be exclusively yours on the morning of your wedding day. Bright and light with large medieval windows to peek at your guests as they arrive, perfect for capturing those all-important photographs.
