About Swarling Manor

About Swarling Manor Swarling Manor is a breathtaking 17th-century manor nestled in 80 acres of dreamy Kent countryside, just moments from Canterbury. Surrounding the Manor House are lovely landscaped gardens, picturesque lawns, a rustic fairy lit barn and a modern marquee which are connected as one. The lawns and grounds offer the most stunning backdrop for your wedding celebration. We have four places to have your ceromony, indoor and outdoor. Coach Cottage and our 7 bedroom Manor House is also available for use and provides the ideal haven for your morning preparations, for your family and friends to stay and perfect for the bride and groom on the wedding night. At Swarling Manor we give you the flexibility you need to design a wedding that meets your needs, your budget and is individual to you.

Whether your dreams involve a formal three course meal, relaxed BBQ or hog roast, festival style food trucks or something completely unique, we’re here to help make it happen. Although we offer beautifully curated wedding packages to suit all budgets, we are always happy to be flexible in creating bespoke options based on your ideas, your tastes and your budget.

Wow our Wedding was 2 days ago and it was truly the most magical day of our lives. The views and setting at Swarling were simply beautiful and the weather delivered with blue skies and sunshine.
