Monday 29th July:

Chapel House Estate is delighted to announce the approval of a stunning new oak-framed Glass Courtyard. This exciting, versatile new venue space will join No 9 Restaurant and our Lounge bar. It has received planning permission, heralding an exciting new chapter for the Estate and solidifying its status as a premier wedding and events venue in Kent. Construction will begin in the winter of 2024/25, using local builders and suppliers. The Glass Courtyard, featuring an oak frame of exceptional quality and proportions, will transform the venue into a stunning setting for intimate weddings, birthdays, and other special occasions.

Notably, it will provide an alfresco dining experience for restaurant patrons, regardless of the weather conditions.

This innovative space will complement the existing buildings, seamlessly blending modern architectural design with the estate’s timeless charm. Much like a kitchen in a home, we believe the Courtyard will become a unique and sophisticated hub where guests will want to linger and enjoy year-round.

creating a bright and inviting space.

seating arrangements and decor to match any celebration or special occasion.

own entrance ensures a welcoming environment for all guests.
