Looking for a Christmas party venue in Kent? Ruffynes Barn offers a countryside setting that can be completely tailored for festive celebrations, from festive parties with friends and family to office-wide Christmas events. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the outskirts of Aldington, the restored 16th-century barn provides a characterful backdrop for end-of-year events.
Available for exclusive hire, the barn can be styled to suit your celebration, with space for up to 120 guests seated or 200 standing. Inside, exposed oak beams and a vaulted ceiling create a warm, atmospheric setting, which can be dressed with twinkling lights, greenery and seasonal decorations. A built-in oak bar, dance floor and revolving mirror ball make it well suited to evening events, with space for live bands or DJs.
Food and drink can be shaped around your event, whether you are planning a drinks-led party with canapes or a more formal sit-down meal. All-in packages are available, with options ranging from classic festive menus such as turkey with all the trimmings to more bespoke and contemporary menus. Catering is typically provided by recommended suppliers Fern & Farrow, although external caterers can be arranged for an additional fee, giving you the flexibility to create something that suits your group.
Outside, a garden and courtyard provide space for drinks receptions, while festoon lighting helps to carry the atmosphere into the evening. On-site parking, shepherd hut toilets and well-appointed facilities ensure guests are comfortable throughout. With the support of on-site event coordinators, every detail can be tailored, from menu and drinks packages to entertainment and styling.
