Turkey Mill Set in the heart of the Garden of England, in Kent’s pretty town of Maidstone, the Orangery at Turkey Mill represents and preserves the true and natural beauty of Kent itself. The stunning Garden Room is the perfect addition to the Orangery. The front of the room has doors across the width which can be fully opened, maintaining the impressive views of the Mill Barn, garden and the main bridge. The stunning glass roof lantern ensures that the room is always light and adds to the effect of the gardens reaching into the covered space, whatever the weather. The recently added Gazebo is licensed for Civil Ceremonies during the summer months (subject to weather conditions) and provides couples with another magnificent option for their special day. The venue is set beside the river Len, within nine acres of beautifully landscaped grounds including sweeping lawns, huge Wellingtonia Pines and Blue Cedars dating back over 400 years. The natural beauty of the water creates a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere as well as unforgettable scenery. Photographic opportunities are endless, at the Mill Pond with the boathouse as a stunning backdrop, in front of the tumbling waterfall or simply relaxing on the lawns. If you are searching for a venue that embraces all that the English garden has to offer, along with a wide variety of rooms and bespoke options then contact the team at Turkey Mill to see what they can do for you.

Set in an area of unspoilt natural beauty, Penshurst Place, although medieval in origin, retains the warmth and character of a much-loved family home. With all weddings held on an exclusive basis in the house, and the opportunity to have your ceremony and reception in one place, the venue prides itself in offering a personalised service, to the very highest standards. The garden at Penshurst Place is one of the most beautiful gardens in England and probably one of the oldest. The existing garden was laid out by Sir Henry Sidney in 1580 and has remained true to his design. The romantic medieval house with its mellow sandstone walls, mullioned windows and ancient doorways is surrounded by the 11 acre walled Tudor garden, which is divided into a series of garden ‘rooms’ by over one mile of yew hedging. Each garden has its own season and colour, with a mass of spring bulbs, colourful herbaceous borders and hundreds of varieties of roses around the Italian Garden, in the Union Flag Garden and in the stunning Rose Garden. Why not take your place in history by holding your ceremony and reception at Penshurst Place? The venue has played host to Royalty and inspired poets to write acclaimed romantic verse, surely this has to be a sign that your marriage will be full of romance too?!
