Willesborough Windmill Trust ltd

Willesborough Windmill offers event organisers a distinctive historic setting in Ashford, Kent. The Grade II* listed windmill, built in 1869, provides a memorable backdrop for weddings, while the adjacent 19th-century barn can be hired for receptions, parties, meetings and workshops. The site brings together period character, a courtyard and a Victorian garden, giving couples and organisers several attractive spaces to use throughout an event.

For weddings, ceremonies can take place inside the windmill, with the barn available for the wedding breakfast and evening reception. The venue's function coordinator can help couples plan the day, and the barn has its own kitchen and bar area. In-house catering is available, with menu choices for wedding meals. The barn can also be arranged for evening entertainment, and the venue can advise on music and other entertainment options.

The barn is available to hire throughout the winter season as well as for other bookings during the year. It is heated and includes a self-contained kitchen, making it suitable for gatherings that need a practical indoor space. Organisers can contact the trust to discuss their plans and the arrangements for a booking.

Alongside private functions, the windmill is a working heritage site with guided tours and a cafe during its public season. The venue is run by a charitable trust, and its historic surroundings offer an alternative to a conventional function room for celebrations and meetings in the Ashford area.
