or call us on 0207 870 9305.

Nestled just outside Canterbury in east Kent, The Wilderness is tucked away in a secret valley of ancient woodland, wildflower meadows, and a serene private lake. This family-run eco-farm spans approximately 200 acres and has been carefully re-wilded over nearly three decades.

The Woodland Glade is a communal hub featuring a Big Hat Tipi, fire pit, rustic treehouse (ideal for ambient speeches or breakout sessions), a Champagne Shack bar, and the Wild Roots Pizza Shack—perfect for relaxed receptions or networking events.

The Wilderness is a standout offering: an enchanting, sustainable hideaway in the Kent countryside, ideal for corporate clients seeking to escape the norm, inspire creativity, and make a conscious impact.

Up to 60 guests can stay overnight in thoughtful bell tents featuring chandeliers, proper beds, hot showers, and comfortable décor—ideal for immersive retreats or executive stays

Easily accessible from London, the venue is about 56 minutes via high-speed train from London St Pancras to Canterbury West, followed by a short (~17-minute) taxi ride—ideal for offsite meetings or retreats outside the urban core.

The Wilderness is just one of many great venues available to hire in London. Our team of free venue finding experts are on hand to create the perfect shortlist of venues in London for your next event.

Please complete our quick enquiry form with your specific dates, budget and ideal location and we will use our experience and venue relationships to save you both time and money.

Alternatively, please send us a quick e mail or call out team now on 0207 870 9305 to discuss The Wilderness and other suitable venues for your next event.
