Meet the family
A family owned & run events venue
We are a family run and owned farm that started hosting weddings in 2008, from the kitchen table. We have grown up a bit since then, but the principle remains the same: to create somewhere that couples can wow their guests but still feel at home.
Our aim is to make everyone feel at home here and we encourage everyone to make their mark.
Our passion for sustainability. We have been running an eco-project on the farm for more than 25 years. Each autumn we plant a tree on the farm in celebration of every event we host.
Preston Court Through The Seasons
Host your wedding or event at Preston Court from March through to late October.
Lorna, Sarah, Daniel & Sharon spend hours planting, pruning & nurturing the gardens to ensure that they are always flowering something new, whatever the season.
Kent is officially England’s ‘sunniest’ county.
