A manor house is celebrating 25 years of couples tying the knot.

To commemorate the anniversary, Penshurst Place and Gardens, near Tonbridge, is calling for people to share pictures of their weddings at the venue.

In April 1995 new regulations came into force that allowed marriages to take place in venues other than a church or a registry office.

The 14th century home became listed in July of that year and has continued to be a popular marriage location.

It will be hosting a special 'silver anniversary' champagne afternoon tea this summer and wishes to invite some of the couples who have been married there to join in the festivities.

Partners are encouraged to share their favourite photos from their special day for an online photo gallery of ceremonies throughout the years, showing how wedding fashions have changed.

The venue particularly want to hear from couples whose wedding took place in 1995.

Those who submit images are in with the chance of winning a pair of tickets to the champagne celebration.

Ben Thomas, general manager at Penshurst Place and Gardens, said: “We wanted to do something special and it seems only right that we involve those couples who have chosen to spend their special day here.

"Their stories are part of our story as a wedding venue, so we’d love to hear from any couples who have exchanged their vows at Penshurst Place."

To mark the milestone, the venue is offering a 25% discount on summer hire fees for new weddings booked before October 31, 2020.
