About The Knowle Country House Ltd

The Knowle Country House Limited is a Victorian mansion wedding venue located in the historic village of Higham, Kent. Approached along a manicured driveway and surrounded by 14 acres of private gardens, rose walks, and Italianate lawns, it offers a peaceful, elegant setting under an hour from Central London. Family‑run since 1980, the house blends warmth, character, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels a world away from the city. Couples often tell us that The Knowle feels like a home‑from‑home — elegant, relaxed, and run by a team who genuinely care. Facilities and Capacity The Knowle offers exclusive use of the entire house and grounds for your celebration. Guests flow naturally between the elegant Main Dining Room, the Garden Room, the light‑filled Victorian‑style Conservatory, the Lower Bar, and the covered patio. Outdoor ceremonies take place beneath the romantic gazebo, with seamless indoor alternatives available. The venue can host up to 100 day guests , with space for 50 additional evening guests . Children have ample room to play, and well‑behaved dogs are warmly welcomed. A large private car park is discreetly located within the grounds, and Higham station is just a 10‑minute walk away. Services Offered Food is central to the experience at The Knowle. Menus are tailor‑made and freshly cooked to order, with chefs who happily accommodate dietary requirements. The Traditional Wedding Package includes a three‑course meal with a sweet trolley, wine, sparkling wine, and a hot and cold evening buffet. The Twilight Package offers a ceremony from late afternoon, celebratory drinks, canapés, and a relaxed buffet. Both packages include flowers throughout the venue, fairy lights, a resident DJ, and overnight accommodation for the couple in the Coach House. A spacious Getting‑Ready Room is available from the morning or early afternoon, depending on the season.
