Description

Kingswood House is a 19th-Century, castle-like, grade-II listed mansion in South Dulwich. Kingswood House reopened earlier this year as Kingswood Arts, a community arts centre and creative hub! Kingswood House, aka “Bovril Castle” combines the charm and character of a grand Victorian building, with the versatility of a modern events venue - offering the benefits of both for your special day. If you are looking for a meaningful and thoughtful way to celebrate your event or wedding, then Kingswood Arts is the best option for you. As a not-for-profit organisation, all proceeds generated from our events go towards providing free classes & activities for young people in the local community, including music, dance, visual arts, and theatre activities, as well as helping to restore this spectacular mansion of British heritage to its original glory. So, by choosing us you are doing a great thing #goodkarmaevents. The recently renovated ballrooms can host parties of up to 150 guests for dinner plus an additional 150 evening guests. Our ballrooms can also be hired out separately for smaller, more intimate events. Our rooms can be set up according to your type of event and they come with a dedicated events coordinator who will help you organise your special event. Our professional and friendly events team, including a dedicated events coordinator, will be looking after you and your guests on the day, making sure everything runs smoothly. We are happy to recommend suppliers for anything additional you might need to make your event extra special, and we work closely with a fantastic range of in-house caterers. Our rooms are also licensed for civil ceremonies.

I’d definitely recommend it

We hired a room at KA for a very last minute change of venue and Nikolas and the team were very accommodating and easy to deal with. The house itself is beautiful inside and on the day everything ran smoothly. I’d definitely recommend it.

Can't recommend them highly enough!

My daughter had her wedding party at Kingswood this month. The venue is brilliant with a choice of rooms and all the guests commented on how well this worked for the ceremony-the meal and the band. From the outset Jack and his team were always happy to discuss various options and on the day he and his staff were all absolutely fantastic in ensuring every thing happened on time and to the agreed plan. Can't recommend them highly enough-great job and a pleasure to work with.

The venue is simply stunning

My husband and I hosted our wedding reception at Kingswood Arts in March 2023, and we couldn't have chosen a better venue and planning team. The location is great and the venue is simply stunning - a lot of hard work and heart has gone into restoring this 19th century mansion, and it certainly shows. We loved that a portion of the profits are reinvested in the community to provide free arts classes for children and youth.

Incredible venue

Incredible venue with a huge variety of spaces ranging across different styles and periods. Very easy to access from public transport and plenty of parking otherwise. Lots of space for storage of kit etc and potential for break out rooms/production offices onsite.

Such a hidden gem!

We had our wedding at Kingswood Arts in February 2024. The building is such a special place, perfect for weddings where you can keep moving between all the brilliant spaces. So many of our guests commented on what a stunning venue it was and how wonderful all the staff were. They also couldn't believe how convenient it was for getting back into central London after the event, it really is such a hidden gem!
