FAQs about Party Venues in Canterbury

What types of venues can I hire for a party in Canterbury?

Halls and community centres are popular choices, providing flexible spaces that can be customised for large gatherings or themed events. Restaurants and bars are ideal if you're looking for a more social and relaxed atmosphere, with catering and drinks packages. For something more distinctive, consider historic buildings or manor houses, which add an elegant backdrop to any celebration. Hotels also offer party venues with the convenience of on-site accommodation, making them a great option for events where guests are travelling from afar. Additionally, outdoor venues such as gardens or barns are perfect for summer parties, providing a scenic and open-air environment.  

How far ahead of the day must I book a party venue in Canterbury?

We recommend securing your venue at least 6 months in advance for popular venues and larger events. For smaller gatherings, booking 3 to 4 months ahead should suffice.

Hourly rates can start from as low as £50 per hour, while venues with a minimum spend might range from £500 per session to several thousand pounds, depending on the scale of your event. For event packages, which often include catering and other services, you can expect to pay £50 per person and £500 - £2000 per day for daily hires. (All data from Tagvenue.)
