Hartham Park

The feel

Finchcocks is a fine Grade 1 Georgian manor situated in the heart of the Kent countryside, set in a truly spectacular location. Finchcocks offers exclusive use for your wedding day and if you are looking for a country house wedding with flexibility and grandeur, then look no further.

The magnificent grounds feature a restored 18th century walled garden with a circle of whitebeam trees, providing the perfect backdrop for wedding photography and drinks receptions after the ceremony. There are also wide lawns, dramatic shrub borders and a beautiful autumn garden.

Larger receptions (up to 120 seated) are accommodated in a marquee hired independently from your choice of our two preferred marquees suppliers, Allspan Marquees or Perfect Day Marquees, on a brick terrace adjacent to the house. For smaller receptions there is the original atmospheric vaulted Cellar Restaurant, which is also ideal for a late evening party with a band or disco.

Finchcocks has previously been chosen by London fashion magazine Editors to host their country house weddings. We are often chosen for themed weddings and have recently hosted weddings on an Arabian theme, Indian weddings & 18th century costumed weddings.

For weddings with guest numbers up to 90, catering is provided by our in-house catering team, headed by Executive Chef, Graham Stock. For guest numbers exceeding that figure, catering is provided by Pop Creative Foods. Finchcocks is fully licensed, with a well stocked bar. There is a very pleasant bridal flat on the second floor offering a large bedroom with full length cheval mirror, bathroom and kitchen, which is available to the bridal party during the day, but not overnight. Finchcocks is surrounded by excellent hotels, inns, bed and breakfast and self-catering establishments. We offer a day to remember, to accommodate your budget.
