The Vibe
Recapture your childhood memories of funfair euphoria that will have you belly laughing once more. Nothing beats the thrill of the iconic dodgems, the g-force of the Waltzers and the adrenaline-inducing big wheel and roller coaster to add laughter and happiness on your special day! With an extensive array of vintage side stalls such as the coconut shie, hook-a-duck, high striker and many more, there is something for everyone! What’s more is, there are 10 acres of landscaped gardens with photographic opportunities galore!
There are three ceremony areas to choose from to ensure the momentous part of your day is exactly how you want it. The romantic Walled Garden is stately in style yet intimate with lush plants, trees and climbers. The open Glade offers a wilderness feel, bordered by trees and has far-reaching views over the River Stour. The Oak Barn offers an indoor option and is rustic in style and immaculately presented with flourishes of Kentish hops and ivy.
Entertainment takes place within the bright and spacious Event Suite, complete with a starlit dance floor, stage, stunning chandeliers and a beautifully styled, connecting garden terrace.
Facilities include two preparation studios for you and your wedding party to get ready in style. What better way to end your special day than in the luxurious Wedding Suite complete with a free-standing bath, walk-in shower and… wait for it… a sizzling hot tub on the terrace!
