Picture a medieval castle, a royal palace and an elegant country retreat and you have Leeds Castle. Set on an island surrounded by a moat in the heart of Kent, the castle provides peace, privacy and security for residential and day conferences, meetings, corporate hospitality and banqueting.
Olive, Lady Baillie, the castle’s last private owner, wanted it to remain a place “where people met and things happened”. In her day that ranged from legendary weekend house parties filled with Hollywood stars like Charlie Chaplain, Nöel Coward and David Niven to secret political talks involving Churchill and General Montgomery during World War II.
Now owned and operated by a charity established by Lady Baillie, the tradition of hospitality continues. One thousand years of history made by royalty, politicians and stars of their day. Now it’s your turn.
Whilst every part of the estate offers Leeds Castle quality, options exist for corporate use of ancillary areas of the estate at more affordable rates. And the castle’s Maiden’s Tower offers a discrete new location, useable all day, away from visitors, from October 2010.
The castle and its grounds are open to the public every day. However, from 6.00pm, the areas you reserve are exclusively yours.
