WEDDINGS AT THE GLASSHOUSE

There is nothing like The Buttery & Glasshouse at The Bull.

With a view to expand the capacity to 100 day-guests and to offer a spectacular weather-proof space, the whole courtyard at the rear of The Bull Hotel was renovated. The innovative and unique wedding venue is a hidden surprise you wouldn’t expect behind the splendid 14th century Grade II-listed Bull Hotel.

The merging between the new contemporary Glasshouse and the traditional Buttery transformed the picturesque courtyard and the whole wedding experience at The Bull.

The Bull Hotel is an excellent base from which to discover the open countryside and many attractions that Kent has to offer.
