Rising majestically from the still waters of its moat, surrounded by 500 acres of parkland and gardens, Leeds Castle is without a doubt one of the most beautiful venues in Kent. Coined ‘The Loveliest Castle in the World’, it is the perfect place for a great day out with the family or a romantic getaway with a loved one!

Leeds Castle has always been a palace to entertain and impress, with every generation leaving its mark. Today’s interiors are the result of the massive refurbishment by top European designers throughout the 1920s and 30s for its last private owner, Lady Baillie.

Each year brings a new daily programme of activities and events.  Whether you’re passionate about porcelain, eager to discover the parkland wildlife or are just looking for old fashioned fun, check our website daily to see what’s on.

Every ticket to Leeds Castle is valid for one year, so you can visit the castle and grounds as many times as you like.
