Kent Life
Sandling
Unique venueAbout the venue
Kent Life is a farm and heritage park at Sandling, just off junction 6 of the M20 on the edge of Maidstone. Its 28 acres take in orchards, gardens and a vintage village, and several of its buildings are hired out for meetings, training days and company events.
The Wagon Store is the showpiece room. Its timber beams are hung with dried Kentish hops each year, and a wall of windows looks out over the orchard. It seats up to 90 theatre style. The Village Hall, which originally stood in Ulcombe, sits across a short path, has its own bar and toilets, and seats up to 75. The Pavilion is the largest space and takes up to 350.
Eight hours of room hire costs £450 for the Village Hall or the Wagon Store, £700 for both and £1,000 for the Pavilion. Minimum numbers apply. Kent Life offers its own catering menus, and a flip chart or a projector and screen can be booked. Call 01622 763936 to check dates.
