Exclusive doesn’t always mean expensive! Winners of the 2025 ‘Venue of the Year – Historic Venue’ at The Wedding Industry Awards, Bradbourne House is the perfect venue for couples looking for luxury with a side of history. An eye-catching backdrop to any event, filled with historic beauty and stunning grounds, Bradbourne House was home to the Twisden family back in the 1500s for more than 400 years, before being purchased by what is now The East Malling Trust back in 1938. This Queen Anne country house still boasts its original character, from the exquisite interior to breathtaking grounds, tranquil lake and hidden gem of a waterfall, making Bradbourne the most idyllic setting for your special day. Let’s take you on an imaginative tour of this magnificent house, before seeing its real beauty in person… The Great Hall: The largest event space is the Great Hall, located in the middle of the house overlooking Bradbourne’s beautiful 22-acre grounds. This room really feels like a fairytale, with the original portraits of the Twisden family hung upon powdery blue walls – which perfectly complements any colour scheme! The Great Hall really is the main event of your day, beginning with your ceremony, through to your wedding breakfast and ending with your evening reception. Capacity is 100 guests seated and 200 standing. The Library: A beautiful oak-panelled room with round feature windows, showcasing portraits of the past CEOs of East Malling Trust. The Library is perfect for serving those all-important evening buffets, or as a cosy setting to dance the night away! The Drawing Room: Featuring high ceilings, sumptuous chandeliers and views of the tranquil lake and grounds, the Drawing Room is perfect for more intimate ceremonies and celebrations. Capacity is up to 40 guests. The Great Hall Steps: The first of two stunning outdoor ceremony options, the Great Hall Steps with a view of the house behind makes a perfect backdrop to say ‘I do’! Ideal for couples looking for a luxurious outdoor wedding overlooking the breathtaking grounds. Capacity is up to 120 guests. Hatton Fruit Garden: A second outdoor ceremony option, nestled behind the garden’s walls. A unique space filled with growing apples, pears, figs, apricots and lavender, provides an alternative outdoor ceremony option for couples looking for something different.
