The perfect venue for your next celebration

Once you are through the front door the Castle becomes yours for the night. Guests can enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the castle library followed by a game of croquet on the lawn. They can curl up on the sofas in front of the open log fires, play the piano or have a game of backgammon in the drawing rooms. Leeds Castle offers a host of finishing touches including musical entertainment and stunning floral arrangements prepared by the castle’s florist. And of course, the castle butler and his team are on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly. 

Dinner can be served in the Castle dining room, with its delicate Chinese porcelain and Aubusson tapestries, while larger groups can feast in The Salon, with its magnificent fireplace and sweeping views across the castle moat. 

With its delicate Chinese porcelain and Aubusson tapestries the Castle dining room offers a bright and spacious area seating up to 80 theatre style, or 30 around the table. Alternatively, the Boardroom, ideal for smaller meetings, seats up to 16. 

After the business of the day, guests can relax in the drawing rooms, or wander through the Castle at leisure.

Built in the early 14th century as a medieval hall-house, Battel Hall is a fine example of local Kentish architecture of the Middle Ages. This large and comfortable home, full of character and distinctive features is available for exclusive private hire. 

Make this wonderful house your own for a special weekend or holiday. Relax in the beautiful wood panelled dining room, then move on to the drawing room or library, both wonderfully traditional rooms for entertaining. Upstairs five luxurious en-suite guest bedrooms, offer stunning views of the gardens, the North Downs and glimpses of Leeds Castle. 

The Battel Hall chef and housekeeper will ensure your stay is utterly spoiling – there to look after all the household details, cook you breakfast in the morning and prepare delicious dinners as you arrange. 

Battel Hall is a venue for all seasons, with cosy sofas and open fires to warm the winter nights. In the spring and summer months, a beautiful 100-year-old wisteria concealing the exterior walls with perfumed blooms. Doors from the Library lead onto charming extensive gardens and woodland area, ideal for open-air drinks, high tea and croquet.  

The Grade II listed Battel Oast sits adjacent to Battel Hall and offers a further two bedrooms with a dining area, kitchen and its own bathroom.
