The most beautiful rural wedding and event location run by the most wonderful family who simply cannot do enough for you
The most beautiful rural wedding and event location run by the most wonderful family who simply cannot do enough for you. It has the most breathtaking views and a homely feel and the owners will make you feel part of the family right from day one. Their suppliers are second to none and it is the perfect blank canvas outdoor wedding venue. There is a large field for parking, a stunning ceremony area and a fantastic flat field with far reaching views of the Kent countryside which looks amazing with a marquee, petal tent or marquee and has plenty of room for that and more! Definitely my favourite venue for outdoor weddings.

The Knockwood Team are just fab! We used just the front lawns to hold a baby shower. They went above and beyond and were so helpful. It's just a lovely place!

Happy Parents!
As the Mother & Father of the Bride, all we wanted was the best day for our Daughter and Son-in-Law. They wanted a DIY/Festival wedding which Knockwood suited perfectly. They wanted to choose their own catering, photographer, florist etc. which the venue we more than accommodating with. The owners really went out of their way to ensure their day went well. Having them on site to coordinate the day was also a big help.

Couldn't have been happier!
From the second we contacted Knockwood, the owners were so helpful and thoughtful. They made us feel so welcome. It was difficult for us to find a space where we could truly make our own and, Knockwood gave us that opportunity. We loved it, thank you!
