REGIONAL VENUES 19  L C Spotlight on… CANTERBURY & THANET Tie the knot in a local hotspot THE OLD KENT BARN 01303 844 270 | www.theoldkentbarn.co.uk The Old Kent Barn is a 200-year-old oak-framed tythe barn, bursting with character. It now acts as the accommodation for the venue, complete with a luxurious newlywed suite and two double ensuite rooms. The design of the New Barn, where receptions are held, is both opulent and neutral to coordinate with any theme. The large windows make this a beautifully bright and airy space, complemented by the light tiled floor throughout. The solid wood dancefloor and stage area are softened with ivory drapes, fairylights surround the beams and a magical starlit ceiling welcomes you for your first dance. There’s capacity for 150 seated guests with up to 250 for the evening. The stunning grounds are professionally landscaped creating formal parterres with romantic roses, sweeping curved hedges and an informal water garden with a fountain, all set against a backdrop of mature trees and countryside. Here you’ll find the classic wooden gazebo, which hosts outdoor ceremonies, complete with a paved area to the front where guests can sit underneath the cover of elegant glass pergolas. The gardens are lit up in the evening with picture perfect fairylit areas, which create a truly magical setting. There’s even a fabulous dressing room available to you from 7.30 on the morning of your wedding. It boasts an ensuite, digital TV, music speaker, air conditioning, plenty of mirrors, dress hooks and complimentary refreshments, with the attentive staff on hand.
