offer with the addition of two 24-hour delegate packages.
The Leeds Castle estate,
which includes a range of event spaces suitable for a variety of corporate gatherings, now

century Maiden’s Tower, the 24-hour day delegate rate includes room hire, accommodation with breakfast, a three-course dinner, buffet lunch and two servings of tea/coffee, plus on-site parking.
The 24-hour team building day delegate package
allows delegates to take part in residential conferences, team building and
summer BBQs against the backdrop of Leeds Castle’s 500-acre seasonal
gardens and parklands. The package includes entry into the castle
and grounds, two servings of tea,
coffee and biscuits, a buffet lunch, a falconry experience, a wine tasting experience, private entry to
adventure golf, a three-course dinner served in the castle,
overnight

Situated an hour from
London, a castle has existed on the site since the 9th century. It was a favourite residence of Edward I in the 13th century, while in the 16th century Henry VIII transformed the castle for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
The present castle dates mostly from the early 19th century and features six meetings and events spaces
plus plentiful outdoor options. Indoor spaces include new addition to the
portfolio - The Gatehouse, which forms an
imposing approach to the Castle Island and
provides a distinctive setting for private dinners for between 20 and 40 guests
or evening events. There is a diverse range of accommodation options
throughout the property, including within the castle itself.
