Facility hire

Tonbridge School offers a range of spaces ideal for corporate events and can accommodate between 10-300 delegates. From board meetings and training sessions, to conferences and product launches, our venues set within the historic grounds, blend character with modern functionality.

On behalf of the group, can I say a massive thank you to you, the catering staff and everyone else we met at Tonbridge, who helped facilitate our training at the school last week.
