Penshurst Place

Penshurst Place is a historic house near Tonbridge, about 32 miles from central London, that hosts meetings, conferences, corporate days and dinners in medieval and Tudor rooms.

The Baron's Hall, completed in 1341, is the centrepiece, with a beamed roof and gothic windows. It seats 140 for dinner or holds 200 for a standing reception. The Sunderland Room, on the upper floor beside the Minstrels' Gallery, seats 125 theatre style, 32 boardroom or 100 for dinner, and a curtain can split it into two smaller rooms. The Buttery, a former medieval bottle store, takes 16 for a small business meeting or 30 for a private lunch.

The Garden Room restaurant seats up to 84 for conference lunches, and a marquee in the Inner Courtyard can seat 160 for a formal dinner. The 2,500 acres of parkland are used for team building, with options such as archery, falconry and quad biking.

The meeting rooms have a projector and screen, wifi, flip charts and a microphone with PA. Prices are given on enquiry, so call 01892 870307 or email the events team.
