Description

Penshurst Place and Gardens, I hope you will find pleasure in visiting the 14th century Manor House and its Gardens. For more than 20 years, my wife Isobel and I have continued to care for the House, Garden and its contents, assisted by a small team of dedicated staff.

The House, once the property of King Henry VIII, was left to his son King Edward VI and granted to my forebear Sir William Sidney in 1552. The Sidney family have been in continuous occupation for more than 470 years since. We are very proud that it is still a family home and all of us who live and work here welcome visitors to discover the charm of Penshurst in the State Rooms, Gardens, Parkland and beyond.

Price starts from £16.00 for Adults(16 years and over), £9.00 for Children(5-15) and £37.50 for Family of three. If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.

Features

Woodland Trail: Woodland Trail is a short walk away from the Adventure Playground and provides a managed woodland environment for you to experience and enjoy the nature around you. Encompassing a 1km loop, walk along the trail and you will discover log pyramids, mushroom carvings, dead-headging, stumperies and a abundance of wildlife.
Adventure Playground: Featuring a commando trail, wooden high top, enormous slide, swings, a toddler area and a new zip line, the Adventure Playground at Penshurst Place has been a staple part of our attraction for many years, welcoming families throughout the open season to enjoy it and the rolling grassed slopes it sits adjacent to.
Toy Museum: The Toy Museum at Penshurst Place and Gardens in the Weald of Kent was awarded a grant of £100,000 at the beginning of 2025 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. This has enabled the renovation and re-imagination of this popular attraction. The Toy Museum officially re-opened on Thursday 31st July for visitors to enjoy.
