About us

Welcome to Hemsted Park, a premier performing arts destination nestled in the heart of Kent on the picturesque 250-acre campus of the world-renowned Benenden School.

Since our launch, Hemsted Park has continued to flourish as a vibrant cultural hub in the South East of England. Our state-of-the-art Centenary Hall remains a leading concert venue, attracting a diverse array of world-class performers and events. Alongside it, our purpose-built Theatre continues to delight audiences with its intimate yet grand atmosphere, providing a perfect setting for a variety of performances.

Our spaces have hosted a remarkable array of talent, with recent highlights including performances by the acclaimed English National Opera, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Len Phillips Swing Orchestra and the Ronnie Scott's all stars. We have also welcomed new and exciting acts, from captivating professional theatre productions to enchanting children’s ballet shows, standup comedy, and more. Hemsted Park has truly become a destination where artistry and community converge.

In addition to our main venues, The Bonnie Yeung-Tsang Recital Hall continues to be a cherished space for our free classical concerts, while our historic parkland offers a serene backdrop for outdoor events, enhancing the magic of every performance.

As we look ahead, we are excited to continue bringing a rich and diverse programme of events to our audiences, ensuring that Hemsted Park remains a beacon of cultural excellence. Whether you're a local resident, a visitor from afar, or part of our extended Benenden School community, we invite you to experience the exceptional performances and warm hospitality that have become the hallmark of Hemsted Park.
