Set in the Kent countryside, The Old Kent Barn offers exclusive-use Christmas celebrations for up to 150 guests, bringing together festive dining, drinks and entertainment.
The New Barn is at the heart of the celebration, with its oak beams, vaulted ceilings and festive decorations creating a lovely setting for the evening. From drinks on arrival to dinner and dancing, you'll have the venue entirely to yourselves, with the gardens illuminated for the season. From real fir trees to garlands and seasonal touches, the space really comes alive at Christmas time. Tables can be arranged in rounds or banquet-style layouts, with a dancefloor and stage area for a DJ or live band.
A dedicated events coordinator helps plan the evening, with setup and pack-down handled by the team, as well as access to your own Planning Portal. Table settings, glassware and festive centrepieces are provided, alongside AV equipment including TV screens and wireless microphones. There is also a fully licensed bar and on-site parking.
The Old Kent Barn has three Christmas packages, each offering a curated combination of food, drinks and entertainment, including fizz on arrival, tea and coffee, complimentary parking, a photobooth and festive canapes. For the main event, head chef James has created a range of Christmas menus drawing on traditional winter flavours and prepared in-house. There's a wide variety of dishes to choose from, spanning pressed ham hock terrine, duck rillettes, roasted lamb rump and braised beef stew.
Guests wishing to stay overnight can book one of five en suite bedrooms in the historic Old Barn, with breakfast the following morning. The team offers total flexibility, with options to tailor the event to your preferences. Whether you're planning a traditional festive dinner or a larger celebration with entertainment, The Old Kent Barn has something to suit everyone at Christmas time.
