Leeds Castle offers a host of finishing touches including musical entertainment and stunning floral arrangements prepared by the castle’s florist. And of course, the castle butler and his team are on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Dinner can be served in the Castle dining room, with its delicate Chinese porcelain and Aubusson tapestries, while larger groups can feast in The Salon, with its magnificent fireplace and sweeping views across the castle moat.
With its delicate Chinese porcelain and Aubusson tapestries the Castle dining room offers a bright and spacious area seating up to 80 theatre style, or 30 around the table. Alternatively, the Boardroom, ideal for smaller meetings, seats up to 16.
