Kentwell Hall Full Description
Kentwell Hall dates back to the 1500’s and despite its size is very relaxed, and is mixed with an individuality created by its current owners, that is not often seen these days in great historic venues. Kentwell is fully licensed and offers a wonderful setting for your special day. The Great Hall and Gallery, with many beautiful hanging tapestries can seat 120 guests for a ceremony. You can enjoy a drinks reception in the State Rooms or on the mazed courtyard, before strolling to the Cedar Lawn continue celebrations. Dining is in the stunning Oak beamed “Overcroft” that can seat up to 160 guests and is fully licensed. If you prefer a less formal day, Kentwell offers the Barnsword, with two traditional barns and grounds for camping. Alternatively a marquee can be erected in the grounds with views towards the house, moat and over gardens and parkland. Our experienced team can assist and guide you on all aspects of budgeting, planning and catering for your day. Kentwell Hall Accommodation: in the main house there are 2 four post double bedrooms. Hall Barn on the estate can sleep up to 14 guests and Lodge Cottage has two double rooms and can sleep up to 4 guests. We welcome couples to come and view everything that Kentwell Hall has to offer and to discuss your individual requirements.
