Preston Court Full Description

Preston Court is not only family run but it is one of the most stylish venues in the UK and just that little bit bonkers. Nestled in beautiful countryside near Canterbury, the historic Preston Court is a 600-acre private estate and farm offering three exceptionally unique spaces for your wedding celebration. Fully licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships, your wedding can take place either on a magical moated island, in an enchanting, fully-decked 17th century barn, or within the walls of an ancient 12th century Saxon church. Meet farmyard animals or take a ride on a glorious Victorian carousel. Luxury Glamping is available on site including duluxe Bridal 'Emperor' Bell tent. We plant a tree on the farm for every wedding we host.
