About

Setting

Bore Place, a 500-acre estate in the heart of the Kent countryside, offers a rural retreat full of natural beauty and timeless charm. Just outside the Tudor village of Chiddingstone, this estate is framed by glorious gardens, an organic dairy farm, and woodland brimming with wildlife.

Ceremony

For outdoor ceremonies, couples often choose The Hide, a secluded spot within Bore Place’s stunning gardens. With handmade oak benches seating 120 guests and a charming shelter for exchanging vows, The Hide provides a serene and intimate space for your special moment.

Reception

The 17th-century Large Barn offers a warm, inviting space for wedding receptions. It accommodates up to 110 guests for a seated wedding breakfast and up to 140 for an evening party. Decorated with fairy lights strung across the wooden beams, this rustic space can also be personalised with your own décor to make it uniquely yours. Tables and chairs are included in the package.

Accommodation

Bore Place provides ample accommodation for your guests, ensuring your celebration can stretch across an entire weekend. The Jacobean manor house, Small Barn, cottages, and Old Stables can host up to 68 guests. For those seeking something a little different, shepherd huts and yurts above the organic kitchen gardens offer additional accommodation for up to 14 guests, all with sweeping views of the surrounding hills.

Food & Drink

Bore Place invites you to create your own menu with a selection of carefully chosen food partners who align with the estate’s values. These caterers are skilled in preparing bespoke menus that cater to any dietary requirements, with an emphasis on vegetarian and vegan options. There is no corkage fee, allowing you the freedom to bring your own drinks, which the caterers will gladly serve.

Sustainability

Sustainability lies at the heart of Bore Place. As winners of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance Awards 2024, the estate’s commitment to eco-friendly practices is long-standing. From organic farming to green energy initiatives and water treatment systems, Bore Place continues to evolve with a strong focus on reducing its environmental impact. The estate’s approach also includes educating guests on sustainability and ensuring that every event is as green as possible.

Getting There

Although set in tranquil countryside, Bore Place is easily accessible. It is just a short drive from the A21 and M25, with train links to London available at nearby Sevenoaks. Its secluded feel is perfectly balanced with its convenient location, making it an ideal setting for local and travelling guests.
