Facilities and Capacity

The property is licensed for civil ceremonies and offers a choice of spectacular indoor and outdoor event spaces, including the four-star Mansion Hotel and the magnificent, nature-inspired Bear Lodge. Port Lympne also has two new event spaces, the garden pergola, tucked away amidst the mansion’s ancient whispering walled garden, and the glass orangery and terrace, a delightful reception space inspired by the Gatsby era. The park is home to some of the world’s most endangered animals; after the ceremony, you and your guests can enjoy a private safari and get up close and personal with your favourite free-roaming wild animals. Overnight accommodation is also available. You can spend your first night as a married couple stargazing at The Bubble, curled up in a shepherd’s hut, or sleep within a whisker of lions and tigers at the Lodge.
