The Gardens

Maidstone, United Kingdom, United Kingdom

---

The Gardens is a rustic, countryside wedding and events venue set on 12 acres of landscaped gardens near Maidstone in Kent, located in the village of Yalding about 7 miles from the town centre.

The site is divided into 16 themed garden areas that showcase different planting styles through history, from medieval to World War‑II‑era designs, and features a grand Victorian greenhouse donated by King Charles. It is mainly used as an exclusive‑use venue for weddings, with multiple ceremony spots, indoor barn spaces, and seasonal Nordic tipis that host a restaurant and lounge bar in winter, as well as a dedicated wedding‑planning team and in‑house catering.

The property began as a charity‑run organic garden in the 1990s, was later transformed by volunteers, and now combines horticultural beauty with a full‑service events and dining experience in the Kent countryside.
