Meetings, training & conferences

There are two meeting venues to choose from at Hever Castle when it comes to organising a meeting, a training session or a conference, The Astor Wing or The Guthrie Pavilion.

To determine which of these two venues is the most suitable to your event, your expected numbers and objectives will need to be considered. We have a team of three professional event coordinators who will guide you through the logistics of each event space available and will be with you every step of the way to plan and deliver a successful event.

The Astor Wing, an Edwardian wing of the Castle, built in Tudor style, can accommodate events for up to 60 delegates. Within The Astor Wing there is an impressive oak panelled suite of three interconnecting meeting rooms referred to as The Tudor Suite. The Tudor Suite offers not only peace, privacy and space to spread out, but also state of the art facilities for projection in a historic, beautiful venue.

    Thank you and thanks to your team for a truly wonderful couple of days at Hever Castle for our offsite. Everyone was blown away by the surroundings, the castle and the Astor Wing. The meals were all excellent, in particular dinner in the great hall. The transition between meeting rooms was seamless and your team were friendly and helpful at all times.

    Fortunately the weather held so we were able to explore the magnificent gardens and lake. Those who stayed over greatly enjoyed a few games of snooker until the early hours and the accommodation was very comfortable indeed.

    All in all, we could not have asked for anything more – it was perfect!

    I wanted to send you an email this morning to say a very big thank you to everyone at Hever Castle for making last night a wonderful occasion. Chris was brilliant. Everything we asked for or changed at the last minute, he did quickly with no fuss, he was outstanding, truly. Sandra, who did the tour was lovely, interesting to listen to and interested in us, she was very involving and inspiring in her knowledge. The Chefs – the two brothers – were just charming, the pudding delicious. The waitresses were attentive and again, if we had a slight change to the original plan, went with it quickly. The gentleman on Reception was equally helpful. Please can you pass my thanks and appreciation to everyone. I, in turn look forward to doing it all again next year.

    We wanted to write and thank you on behalf of the entire Group Internal Audit Team at SABMiller plc for a truly fantastic offsite meeting at Hever Castle last week. To say that our experience exceeded all expectations is an understatement. The high standard of facilities available in such a magnificent setting will be hard to find elsewhere. All the staff were really very friendly and helpful, the level of service was exceptional and we are grateful to every single member of staff that contributed to an incredibly successful Team meeting. The quality of the food and wine was superb and everyone enjoyed the food that we had. We can find no fault at all with our superb experience!
