The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden is positioned within the Mersham Le Hatch Estate in Ashford, Kent. The family-owned venue focuses on garden-based celebrations within walled grounds. The Chapel accommodates up to 90 for ceremony and provides courtyard views. The Glass House, a vintage glasshouse, hosts ceremonies for up to 40 or intimate dining for 28, flooded with natural light. An outdoor ceremony option is available within the walled gardens beneath a wisteria-covered wooden gazebo. The Main Coach House, restored in 2006, provides additional event space. The garden layout and architecture throughout maintain character from various periods. The walled setting and garden focus suit couples seeking a Kent venue orientated toward botanical elements and contained outdoor ceremonies. The family-managed approach provides personal-level service distinct from hotel-scale operations.
