Why Hever Castle ?
Before Sarah's family moved to Guernsey, she lived just down the road. The Humes have lots of happy memories in the grounds of Hever and nearby Penhurst Place.
Andy has always loved castles and forts, from the historical to those of fantasy. Sarah and Andy have enjoyed a number of happy weekends together at Hever, so we thought it would be the perfect backdrop to celebrate our wedding. And the rest .. is history!

Yes! There is some limited Bed & Breakfast accommodation available for our wedding guests within the Castle. If you are interested in staying at the Castle please drop Andy or Sarah a line.
For other options, see our "Places to Stay" page.
Is this a weekend off runnng?
Have you met Andy?! We are happy to confirm that Kingdom Park, just down the road hosts a parkrun every Saturday at 9am. Andy would be delighted to be joined for parkrun by any of our guests, on his big day.
For those wanting to opt for a more leisurely morning, but watch the activity - Kingdom Cafe comes highly rated with excellent coffee, pastries and snacks.
This is very much an optional extra. We anticipate Sarah will stay back to guard the Castle.
