The Orchard Suite

The Orchard is a family-run venue in a 14th-century farmhouse on Spot Lane, Otham, a short drive south-east of Maidstone town centre. It is best known for weddings, but the team also hosts conferences, training days, team-building events and Christmas parties.

Events use a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. The Starlight Suite, with its fairy-lit ceiling, space for a DJ and a staffed bar, seats up to 130 for a meal and holds up to 250 for an evening party. The Wisteria Room is a smaller, warmer room for up to 80 with a surround sound system. In the warmer months, the sheltered Water Terrace and the Garden Gazebo add outdoor space with views over the Kent countryside.

Food comes from the in-house kitchen team, who use local ingredients, and menus range from a sit-down meal to a hog roast. The events team helps plan and run each booking. Corporate prices are not published, so call 01622 861500 or book a viewing to talk through your plans.
