All the details
The Venue
The Beacon
Tea Garden Lane, Tunbridge Wells, TN3 9JH
Welcome to The Beacon! The house has a long history of hosting glamorous parties and providing care and shelter for those in need. From the tea rooms and pleasure gardens created by Sir Walter Harris, to the important role it played housing both Basque and Jewish refugees in wartime. It is a picture postcard of whimsical, rustic romance and stunning views.
On the edge of Royal Tunbridge Wells, it is easy to access from London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and further afield where many of our guests are joining us from.
You can find more about how to get to the venue and places to stay on our transport page.
