About The Castle Westenhanger

Become part of the Castle Westenhanger’s history, and make your dream wedding an exciting story to tell. Dating back to 1343, this Grade I listed manor house is one of the early quadrangular castles that were fortified to withstand a possible attack from France. Over the centuries, it served as King Henry VIII’s preferred party palace, Queen Elizabeth I’s “house in Westenhanger” and now one of Glow Events’ exclusive-use wedding and event venue.

Set your celebration in 14 acres of Kent countryside, among romantic ruins and castle turrets. Exchange heartfelt vows indoors or outdoors – whatever the weather, the Castle remains a perfect location for a fairytale wedding. If you need accommodation, plenty of options are available in Hythe.

The Castle Westenhanger lies on Stone Street in the small village of Westenhanger, featuring the now closed Folkestone Racecourse and served by a railway station. The nearest town is Hythe, and the Kent Downs AONB surrounds Westenhanger from 3 sides. The popular Port Lympne Reserve can be reached in 7 minutes by car from the Castle.
