Hever Castle & Gardens has a double reason to celebrate after being been named Best Family Attraction in the UK, at the national Muddy Stilettos Awards 2023.
The childhood home of Anne Boleyn was named Best Family Attraction in Kent as part of the regional annual awards which celebrate small independent lifestyle businesses across the county.
The accolade was decided on a public vote with Hever Castle beating off competition from attractions including Wingham Wildlife Park and Alpaca Annie.
A total of 25,000 votes were cast in the final to decide the winners which took place as Muddy Stilettos celebrated its 10th birthday.
All the winners were invited to an evening of celebration at Yotes Court on Wednesday 28 June.
Each regional winner was put forward for the National Muddy Awards to find the ‘best of the best’ across all 28 Muddy counties and Hever Castle was named the Best Family Attraction nationally on Wednesday 26 July – the only business in Kent to win nationally.
