Ticks all the boxes

Exceptional.

Courtney is a genuine amazing asset to Lympne Castle and the assistance we had throughout the wedding process was quality.

Our experience was purely amazing. The venue is such an amazing place it could stand up on its own, but factor in fantastic food, great service and a nothing is too much attitude - and this place is 5 stars easily.

Flexible, forthcoming with ideas, so easy to work with, never chasing on anything, stress free with a real understanding of how a wedding venue should operate - Lympne Castle is striving to be a real contender in the wedding venue world, and it’s easily going to succeed.

Get rooms available upstairs & this place will have it nailed.

Christmas eve at the castle..

We (family of 3) spent Christmas Eve 2023 at Lympne Castle. The staff made the evening very enjoyable. The whole evening was brilliant and made our Christmas eve a memorable one. There was a free buffet, music and fairly priced drinks!

A Wonderful Festive Evening

36 of us had a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas meal in the Great Hall with log fire and huge Christmas tree. The group menu was very reasonably priced, the food beautifully presented and delicious, the service calm, friendly and efficient. The whole atmosphere was friendly, welcoming and relaxing. A big Thank You to Dan, Laura and all the staff!

As a wedding photographer

As a wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at the historic Lympne Castle and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The castle has a rich history dating back to the 12th century, when it first opened its doors to visiting nobles. Its location, with the remains of Portus Lemanis beneath the foundations, adds to its significance and the fact that much of the stone used to construct the castle and the neighboring church came from this site, speaks volumes about its history.

The castle has been tastefully modernized to provide its guests with comfortable, 21st-century amenities while still retaining its medieval charm. It was an honor to be part of a wedding that took place in such a historic setting and I was pleased to see that the castle's staff takes great pride in making their guests feel welcome.

As a photographer, I also appreciate the stunning architecture and the stunning views of the surrounding area. The castle's architecture is a perfect blend of modern and ancient styles, with the stone walls and grand archways providing a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos.

Although I did not personally experience any ghost sightings, I have heard that some people claim to have seen ghosts still happily going about their business after many centuries. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there is no denying that Lympne Castle is a truly unique and special place, steeped in history and full of character.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend Lympne Castle as a wedding venue. It is the perfect combination of historical charm and modern amenities, making it an unforgettable experience for both the bride and groom and their guests. Whether you are looking for an intimate, elegant wedding or a grand, fairy-tale event, Lympne Castle is the perfect choice.

Kindest regards
The Kensington Photographer
