Nestled in woodland and surrounded by fruit orchards, The Night Yard is located in the heart of Kent, just 10 minutes from Canterbury. Dating back to 1898, the Historic Night Yard was once a brick-built cattle shelter. Retaining its original charm and history, and with the new addition of a stunning glasshouse, The Night Yard makes for a truly relaxed Kentish Wedding Venue.
You have a choice of ceremony options. The Courtyard, an outdoor space at the heart of the venue, has a distinctive set-up with two gated entrances, allowing couples to walk down the aisle together. Alternatively, The Glasshouse, an indoor setting with oak flooring, festoon lighting, and dimmable chandeliers, provides all the space, air, and light you need to make your wedding day as tranquil as possible.
The Glasshouse transitions seamlessly into the reception space, where guests can dine and celebrate. The Courtyard transforms post-ceremony into an open area for drinks and canapés, offering a relaxed atmosphere before the evening celebrations.
The Night Yard has a fully stocked and staffed bar to keep the drinks flowing. You can also create a bespoke drinks package so you know your guests won’t go thirsty.
Food can be sourced through their fantastic handpicked caterers. They can create anything you have in mind, from afternoon tea to three-course meals.
The venue is conveniently located just ten minutes from Canterbury and an hour from London via the fast train.
Thank you so much for all your help and support to give us the most perfect wedding day. You went above and beyond and we are super grateful. We will always recommend you.
From the moment we viewed the venue right up to the day, the team there have made the whole thing so relaxed and enjoyable.
Thank you all so much for making our day so amazing! You all really went above and beyond and made us and our guests feel so welcome.
Nothing was ever too much. We got so many comments on how lovely the venue was and how nice the staff were!
It can seem daunting when you have to organise suppliers but don’t let that put you off The Night Yard. It’s 100% worth the price and it is beautiful. Everyone at our wedding complimented us on how amazing it was and we did barely any decorations.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for all of your help in helping us create our perfect wedding. We truly had the best day with the best venue we could ever have hoped for. We hope our friends choose you and The Night Yard for their weddings so we can come back!
The venue and staff were amazing throughout the whole process and we couldn’t have asked for anything more!
My daughter’s wedding was on Thursday at The Night Yard and we cannot praise them enough. The venue is amazing and so are the staff. I am disabled in a wheelchair and a girl came out to greet me and looked out for me all day – even bringing sun cream out to me. I cannot recommend this venue enough.
Recently came for a friends wedding, from the moment we arrived to when we left, everything was seamless. The staff were friendly and so organised. The venue was clean, well set up and magical. What a unique and special place.
We had our wedding here and loved every single minute of it! We cannot recommend the staff and venue enough! Everything was seamless and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. All our guests were to impressed with the venue and staff too, so proffesional yet so warm and welcoming at the same time. So so beautiful, we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place for the day!
The venue is exclusively available to you from 9am to 11pm on your wedding day.
The beauty of The Night Yard is that you can decorate it however you wish. We provide the canvas, you provide the paint! There are numerous styling opportunities; cable ties and Blue Tack may be used, but we do not allow screws, nails or staple guns. If you need any help or inspiration, we are on hand to help!
Catering is not included in the venue's hire price. However, we have a list of five handpicked suppliers with whom we work closely. Whether you would like a traditional three-course wedding breakfast or a relaxed BBQ, we are certain that our caterers can provide it. For more information, please see the catering section under the Your Wedding heading on our website.
We have a fantastic on-site bar that will be fully stocked and staffed on your day. We also offer a comprehensive drinks package that can be entirely customised to suit you! We do not allow any drinks purchased off-site to be brought into the venue.
