Bekesbourne Farm
The Garden of England at its very best. Set in a verdant meadow and surrounded by beautiful orchards, Bekesbourne Farm is perfect for couples seeking an intimate country wedding venue.
Suggestive of the Darling Buds of May, this stunning location provides you and your guests with your very own slice of rural seclusion. Enjoy panoramic views of luscious apple trees set against a sweeping backdrop of rolling Kentish hills and vistas of green countryside.
Hazy summer days amongst the orchards give way to nights under a canopy of stars – ideally suited to an outdoor wedding in our bespoke, luxury sailcloth marquee.
Located in the quintessential village of Bekesbourne, the farm is just minute’s drive from the historic City of Canterbury and offers on-site parking for up to 50 cars.
For any guests travelling by train, it’s a five-minute walk from Bekesbourne station - the stop after Canterbury East on the direct line between London Victoria and Dover Priory.
Your Wedding
Suitable for guest numbers of up to 102, you can enjoy a celebrant-led wedding giving you the chance to tell your love story, your way. You can be as creative or traditional as you like, and the ceremony will reflect your personalities, values, and your love for one another.
Our wedding planning team will take you through the steps and assist with the legalities to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our stylish sailcloth marquee takes in the full vista of views which provide a beautiful backdrop to celebrate with family and friends.
A Boutique Setting
Nestled in the meadow and amongst the orchards, our elegant sailcloth marquee awaits your drinks reception, wedding breakfast, and evening celebrations.
Styled by our wedding planner, wedding coordinator and a full host of staff and furnished to include tableware and table décor, a vintage lounge set, a licensed bar, a dance floor, and toilets, we also take care of the smaller details, by providing fully personalised welcome signage, seating plan, menus, and name places.
A farm track with a private entrance ensures total privacy for you and your guests, as does the fact that no public footpaths are crossing the farm.
Getting Ready
Get ready in seamless style by making use of the Pretty Prep Studios at Chalk Pit Farm, just a five-minute drive away and included in your Boutique Wedding at Bekesbourne Farm.
Housed in a lovingly restored cattle shed, each thoughtfully designed studio exudes rustic charm and modern elegance. Perfect for wedding morning beauty prep, with plenty of mirrors, plug sockets and parking
Accommodation
The Binelodge is a luxury barn conversion that shares the same orchard as the wedding marquee.

The Binelodge includes a spacious master bedroom with a sumptuous king-size bed, a second upstairs bedroom, an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space complete with a log burner, and a bathroom with its large walk-in, rainfall shower. French doors open onto the terrace with a vine-covered pergola. Surrounded by orchards, it makes an ideal setting for intimate pre-wedding cocktails and post-wedding breakfast.
