Leeds Castle Events: Visit Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle is without a doubt one of Kent's most magnificent sites, rising majestically from the quiet waters of its moat and surrounded by 500 acres of parks and gardens. Every generation has left its stamp on Leeds Castle, which has always been a palace to amuse and dazzle. The current interiors are the result of extensive renovations by prominent European designers for Lady Baillie, the house's final private owner, in the 1920s and 1930s. Each year, a new daily program of activities and events is introduced. These events are strongly recommended for anyone who enjoys porcelain, wants to learn more about park fauna, or simply wants to have a good time. This page discusses more these events at Leeds Castle in depth.
