Kent — the Garden of England — offers a remarkable range of settings for live events, from the medieval grandeur of Leeds Castle and Hever Castle to the rolling orchards and hop gardens of the Weald, the chalk downland of the North Downs and the historic towns of Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks. The county has a wealth of country house venues, private estates and hotel settings well suited to weddings, corporate entertaining and private celebrations.
Jazz in Kent — Events, Venues & Occasions
Historic Castles & Country Houses
Kent has some of the most spectacular historic venues in England. Leeds Castle near Maidstone — set on two islands in a lake in the heart of the Weald — is among the most romantic wedding and events venues in the country. Hever Castle, childhood home of Anne Boleyn, is a further example of the extraordinary historic settings Kent offers for weddings and private celebrations. Chilston Park Hotel in the Weald is the county’s finest country house hotel.

Canterbury & East Kent
Canterbury Cathedral is one of the great landmarks of England and the city hosts a calendar of private events, corporate entertaining and special occasions throughout the year. The surrounding East Kent countryside — the fruit orchards of the Blean, the Romney Marsh and the white cliffs of the Kent coast — offer a range of private venues for weddings and celebrations. Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve and Lympne Castle are among the most distinctive settings in this part of the county.
The North Downs & Sevenoaks
The North Downs ridge runs through the heart of Kent, with the Sevenoaks area offering some of the most beautiful private estates and country houses in the county. St Clere Estate in Kemsing is a confirmed venue — a historic estate with sweeping views across the Weald. The surrounding villages of Shoreham, Eynsford and Otford are home to private houses and event spaces well suited to weddings and intimate private celebrations.

Corporate Events & Black-Tie Occasions
Kent’s proximity to London makes it a natural county for corporate events, team away days and gala dinners that want a country setting within easy reach of the capital. Leeds Castle, Hever Castle and Chilston Park all offer corporate event packages alongside their wedding programmes. Kitty is available for corporate dinners, awards evenings and Christmas parties across Kent.

Tunbridge Wells & the High Weald
Royal Tunbridge Wells is one of the most elegant Georgian towns in England, with a strong tradition of private entertaining and special occasions. The High Weald beyond the town — Groombridge, Lamberhurst, Goudhurst and the Bewl Water valley — is home to country houses, vineyards and private estates that suit live jazz for weddings and private events. Hever Castle is just to the west, on the Kent and Sussex border.

Kent Vineyards — Private Events
Kent is the heart of England’s wine country, with a growing number of award-winning vineyards that host private events, corporate entertaining and special occasions. Chapel Down in Tenterden, Balfour Winery near Staplehurst and Squerryes in Westerham are among the finest. A live jazz set accompanying a private vineyard dinner is exactly the kind of occasion where the Great American Songbook works beautifully.
