About Kentwell Hall
A timeless Manor House set in acres of stunning, family-friendly gardens and parkland, in the beautiful Suffolk village of Long Melford.
Patrick and Judith Phillips, since 1971 have been engaged on a project to restore and repair this magical House to its former glory, and recover and replant its beautiful gardens. Kentwell is a lived-in family home, which has been continuously occupied for over 500 years. We host a multitude of special events throughout the season, from Living History and family-friendly events to Open Air Cinema and Halloween fun. We truly have something for everyone to enjoy!
