The Oak Grove
A distinctive woodland venue for corporate events, private hire and memorable experiences in the heart of Kent.
Set within five acres of secluded woodland on the banks of the River Medway, The Oak Grove is an exclusive-use venue offering businesses and organisations a refreshing alternative to traditional conference centres and hotel meeting rooms.
Located near Upchurch in North Kent, with excellent access from the M2, M20, Medway Towns and London, the venue combines a peaceful countryside setting with practical facilities for professional events.
Designed to inspire creativity, collaboration and connection, The Oak Grove is ideal for corporate away days, networking events, product launches, team-building activities, conferences, wellness retreats, training sessions, outdoor exhibitions, awards and charity events and private celebrations. The natural surroundings encourage fresh thinking while providing complete privacy and exclusivity for every booking.
At the heart of the venue are three interconnected stretch tents, creating a versatile covered space that can be configured for presentations, workshops, dining, exhibitions or evening entertainment. Unlike traditional marquees, the open-plan design maintains a strong connection with the surrounding woodland while providing shelter and comfort in all weather conditions.
The venue benefits from a fully licensed bar, dedicated catering area, luxury washroom facilities, disabled access, extensive on-site parking and flexible outdoor spaces suitable for demonstrations, networking and recreational activities. With capacity for up to 130 guests seated and 160 standing, The Oak Grove comfortably accommodates both intimate gatherings and larger corporate functions.
Whether hosting a strategic planning day beneath ancient oak trees, entertaining clients in an unforgettable setting or bringing teams together away from the office, The Oak Grove offers a venue that is both distinctive and adaptable. Every event benefits from exclusive use of the site and the support of an experienced events team, ensuring a seamless experience from planning through to delivery.
More than simply a venue, The Oak Grove provides a setting where business objectives meet exceptional surroundings—creating events that leave a lasting impression long after the day has ended.
