Ceremony & Reception Spaces
Chapel House Estate offers three unique ceremony spaces and two reception spaces across its 35-acre grounds:
Ceremony Spaces
The Wild Apple Orchard
Setting the scene for a truly relaxed, romantic moment, our estate gardener has transformed the Wild Apple Orchard into a beautiful meadow, allowing the lawn to flourish naturally to create a serene space for exchanging vows, amongst the wildlife, in front of up to 150 seated guests.
The Old Malt Granary
Nestled in the private estate, the beautifully restored Old Malt Granary is home to our indoor weddings, civil ceremonies, blessings and renewal of vows.
With high ceilings, exposed beams, original brickwork and large windows that flood the space with natural light, the Granary comfortably seats up to 150 people.
The Chapel House (1290)
Rich in history and lovingly restored, our namesake Chapel House provides an enchanting setting for elopements and micro-weddings steeped in atmosphere for up to 15 people.
Reception Spaces
Thorne Barn
Celebrate in the charming Thorne Barn, home to larger celebrations, with space for up to 150 daytime guests and 200 evening guests. A fabulous 1920s-inspired cocktail bar, outdoor terrace and plenty of room to party the night away.
The Glass Courtyard
For more intimate gatherings, the Glass Courtyard and adjoining Lounge Bar offer a relaxed yet refined setting for private dining, celebrations and post-wedding breakfasts.
Light-filled by day and softly atmospheric by night, the space comfortably hosts up to 60 guests during the day, or up to 100 for evening celebrations.
As the sun sets, the courtyard transforms into a twinkling, glass-covered space, where candlelight glows, music carries, and the party continues under the stars.
Food and Drink
Putting great food at the heart of your celebration. Led by the Head Chef, they create menus that showcase the very best of Kent’s Garden of England, using estate-grown produce alongside ingredients from trusted local suppliers who share their values.
However you choose to dine, a relaxed sit-down meal, generous grazing tables, a full-on feast or late-night wood-fired bites, our experienced team brings a thoughtful, delicious approach to event dining. From orchard-inspired canapés and bespoke cocktails to elegant three-course banquets, every menu is crafted with passion, provenance and creativity. As part of their B Corp journey, they’re proud to champion local, low-waste and eco-conscious dining. Expect vibrant flavours, beautifully presented plates and warm, attentive service, all rooted in their care for people, place and planet.
Whether you imagine sharing feasts beneath the oak beams of Thorne Barn, intimate dining in the Glass Courtyard, or relaxed bites under the stars, they’ll help you create a dining experience that feels effortless, generous and entirely your own.
Raise a glass, savour every flavour, and let the food and drink tell your story – deliciously.

Chapel House
Chapel House sits at the heart of the estate, nestled between the Wild Apple Orchard and the Old Malt Granary. Sleeping up to ten guests across four double bedrooms and a charming bunk room, it offers a truly characterful stay. Dating back to 1290, this Grade II-listed flint and stone chapel has been beautifully reimagined as a contemporary luxury residence.
Upstairs, the elegant honeymoon suite features a freestanding copper bath with uninterrupted views across the terrace and gardens.
Nine Hideaway Lodges
The nine contemporary pine lodges are open-plan with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that open onto the west paddock. They offer a compact but luxurious place to relax, complemented by magnificent, far-reaching views of nature.
Cottages
They offer two charming cottages nestled just outside the estate. Both are ideal for small groups to relax and unwind before or after a day of celebrations.
Thorne Cottage sleeps up to four guests and offers a cosy, comfortable retreat just moments from the estate.
Chapel Cottage sleeps up to six guests and provides a relaxed, home-from-home space for families or small groups to unwind.
