Corporate Venue Hire & Business Events in Kent

Inspire Your Team at Shires Oast at The Hop Farm

If you are planning a product launch, exhibition, seminar, staff training day, or festive celebration in Kent, Shires Oast at The Hop Farm offers a refreshing, versatile alternative to the standard hotel conference room.

Set within the beautiful Kent countryside in Paddock Wood, our unique venue features beautifully converted Oast Houses, and stunning grounds. We provide the ideal backdrop for everything from intimate executive meetings to grand company dinner dances, vibrant summer corporate parties, and large-scale family fun days.

Action-Packed Team Building & Outdoor Activities

The Hop Farm is one of the premier destinations for team-building days in Kent. Utilising our expansive outdoor grounds and versatile indoor spaces, we host a wide range of popular activities designed to boost confidence, improve communication, and build trust.

Our extensive team-building options include:

  • Blindfold Driving: The ultimate test of trust, communication, and clear instruction as teams navigate a course completely blind.
  • Outdoor Adventures: Hit the target with Archery, take to the water for Canoeing, or let loose on our massive, high-energy Inflatables.
  • Indoor Team Building Options: Don't let the British weather dictate your day. We offer a brilliant selection of indoor challenges, puzzles, and collaborative games and courses such as cocktail making inside our spacious function suites.

Summer Parties & Christmas Celebrations

Whether you want to soak up the sunshine or celebrate the end of the financial year, we have your corporate calendar covered:

  • Summer Parties & Family Fun Days: Take full advantage of our beautiful country gardens and outdoor estate for corporate BBQs, hog roasts, cocktail bars, and festival-themed summer parties.
  • Festive Celebrations: Looking for the ultimate Christmas party venue in Kent? We offer a range of dates throughout the festive season for both exclusive corporate hire and high-energy, shared joint Apres Ski party nights.
