Elmley, Exclusive Hire

About Venue

A vast wilderness, yet, only an hour from London. Based on an island Elmley feels a world away from the city. With huge skies, miles of wilderness and incredible wildlife all around, you can completely disconnect and immerse in nature.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Elmley’s wildlife is of international importance and our priority is to restore and regenerate the nature in this special estate in the South-East of England. This philosophy runs through everything we do, from how we farm to how we generate our electricity and how we engage with and support our local community Elmley is a family run business, with a long standing and experienced team. We have all been captured by Elmley and are constantly inspired by how special a setting it is. We love to welcome groups to Elmley and help them make the most of their time in this unique estate.

Elmley’s range of beautiful spaces provide an ideal backdrop for your business needs, from brand events, conferences, and meetings, to training and away days. There are a selection of spaces, for any number, for you to present, discuss, breakout and have fun. All spaces are offered for your exclusive use and with bespoke service. Along with everything you’d normally expect (wi-fi, drinks and snacks, pens & paper, projector, screen, flip chart and PA system), each space provides privacy and quiet for your event, and incredible nature views.

Elmley is a 3,300 acre family estate and national nature reserve on an island on the Kent coast, just 40 miles from London.  A vast wilderness. The spectacular landscape, soul stirring skies and breath-taking wildlife provide a truly inspirational escape. We provide an extraordinary setting for a off-sites, retreats, special events and luxury stays or simply to immerse yourself in fresh air, space and nature.
