Whitstable Castle

Whitstable Castle Whitstable Castle & Gardens is a versatile venue for weddings, private parties and business use. The Orangery Tea Room is open daily.

Whitstable Castle was originally built as an octagonal tower in 1789 by Charles Pearson, who later became and investor in the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway. Pearson later added to the building, developing it into a manor house. In 1836 the house, then known as Tankerton Tower, was bought by London businessman Wynn Ellis, who by 1842 had added a west wing, a bell tower and a lodge. The building

had become known as Tankerton Castle by 1897, although it is now commonly referred to as Whistable Castle. The castle grounds is the only public park in Whitstable and is a centre for community activity. The Castle provides a venue for weddings, private parties, local classes, corporate and community events including a public park complete with ornamental gardens, play area and the Castle Art Studio & Gallery. Visitors can take a guides tour of the gardens which were first laid out in the 1780's.
