The Mansion - for all your special events

The beautiful Port Lympne Mansion and Gardens

Port Lympne - A 1920s Stately Home.  Port Lympne Mansion was built for Philip Sassoon between 1914 – 1920. The Mansion was a lavish and expensive project, and has many internal features typical of the extravagances of the ‘Roaring 1920’s’ era. Many of the world’s leading professional craftsmen were employed to complete its construction, including architect Sir Herbert Baker, famous for the design of New Delhi in India and the renowned designer Philip Tilden.

Stunning Art Deco Murals

The mansion house is located in 600 acres of its wild animal park in Kent and consists of delightful mural painted rooms by famous English artists Rex Whistler, Spencer Roberts and Martin Jordan.

Port Lympne Mansion Gardens

Port Lympne Wild Animal Park & Gardens are set in 15 acres of beautiful landscaped terrain and include a vineyard, figary, chessboard and the stripe garden. Vistors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from the Trojan stairway across Romney Marsh and the English Channel.
