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.

Private Garden Party / Baby Shower

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!

We are a DJ company that visit many wedding venues around the UK, and Knockwood Bespoke Receptions certainly stands out from the rest. A beautiful location run by incredibly polite, helpful and professional people... what more could you wish for! We absolutely love it and can not wait for our next visit!

Relaxed countryside venue. Nothing too much trouble.

'Knockwood' is a really special place, perfect for relaxed countryside wedding celebrations. I wholeheartedly recommending them. The team are very helpful and proactive, and if you're looking for a peaceful spot for your wedding day, Knockwood is ideal.

We recently attended Knockwood's open weekend. The owners were very welcoming and explained how the venue works. We're really looking forward to going back and booking it as our venue!

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.

We've used Knockwood to host our works summer family bbq for the last 3 years. They've always been so accommodating and we look forward to coming back year after year. The open space is a lovely environment for work colleagues and families to come together.

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!
