Fordwich Town Council

We miss you all and hope to open the Town Hall up to you as soon as we can.

In the meantime we have been very busy taking this time to make much needed improvements. The decorator is in, painting inside and out (Just have a look at that newly painted fence), our volunteer gardeners have been busy planting the garden and we soon ready to put up our new signs around the hall.

Fordwich Town Hall was built around 1544 with strong suggestions it may be older.

It is a much loved building in Fordwich, looked after by Fordwich United Charities and our wonderful custodians.

Our knowledgeable custodians are keen to show you around and tell you about Fordwich Town Hall’s history, its importance and connection to the building of Canterbury Cathedral.

Fordwich Town Hall is still used today and we hold town council, trustee and custodian meetings here.

Did you know that you can get married here and, have your Civil Partnership here? Head over to the Weddings tab and find out more.

A suggested donation of £2 per person helps us to keep this wonderful building open to the public.

Please note that we have a newly installed lift enabling us to welcome even more visitors.
