Opened at the Kent Showground outside Maidstone in 1991, The Kent Event Centre has become one of Kent’s liveliest modern event spaces. As well as hosting everything from the Kent County Show to large private events and Christmas parties, The Kent Event Centre is also a popular destination for non-traditional and Asian wedding receptions and parties.
The Kent Event Centre is nestled right in the heart of beautiful Kentish countryside, and is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the North Downs where it boasts over 200 acres of outdoor space as well as a private woodland. Despite the verdant countryside surroundings, it’s also easily accessible via car and rail, and you can reach the venue in less than an hour from London.
The primary wedding space at The Kent Event Centre is the Clive Emson Hall - a huge fully carpeted marquee with over 1700sqm of space and a total capacity of up to 900 guests for wedding receptions and parties. The venue isn’t licensed for ceremonies, but it hosts lots of large non-traditional wedding parties throughout the year and boasts brilliant facilities, including full disabled access, a suite of AV tech that includes microphones, projectors, even live-streaming equipment, and car parking for over 100 cars, plus overflow parking.
The Hall also has full catering facilities for 900 guests, and Kent Event Centre can help you organise a caterer if you don’t already have one in mind. The brilliant team are on hand to help with every step of the organisation - get in touch today to start planning a wedding reception to remember.
