Venue
WEDDING VENUE LOCATION
Nestled in the heart of North Kent, between two charming villages, our oak glade offers a truly magical woodland setting for your wedding day. Surrounded by nature, this serene woodland is home to 22 majestic oak trees, and alongside it, tranquil meadows create the perfect backdrop for your celebration.
We offer a beautiful ‘living arbor’ ceremony area, fully licensed, where you can exchange vows under the natural canopy of our stunning woodland.
Set within five acres of picturesque North Kent countryside, our beloved copse is encircled by farmland on three sides, providing complete privacy for your special day.
Additionally, the venue is located within the ancient Saxon Shore Way, beside the peaceful banks of the River Medway, making it a truly unique and unforgettable location for your wedding.
We can’t wait to share this enchanting space with you and help make your dream day come to life.
PRINCIPAL, DANCE & BAR
The Tents
Our stunning stretch tents are beautifully vaulted within a ring of towering oak trees, creating a truly captivating setting for your event.
The main tent is larger than a triple-hat tipi, offering a spacious, open area under one roof. Two smaller tents are seamlessly connected to the main tent, providing ideal spaces for catering, a relaxed lounge area, a bar, and dancing.
We can comfortably accommodate up to 132 guests during the day and up to 160 guests in the evening. We’ve ensured that our site has disabled access and is easily available. There is also ample parking, including overnight options for your convenience.
