Welcome to The Oak Party Saturday 28 September 2024
Our Venue - the Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells
The Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells was formerly known as Calverley House. Princess Victoria and her mother, the Duchess of Kent, stayed here in 1826, 1827, 1828 and 1834. In 1849, as Queen, she visited again accompanied by her husband Prince Albert. By this time it had become the Calverley Hotel.

DRESS CODE
If you love the opportunity to dress up, please feel free to dust off the dinner jacket and jazz up the jewellery for this occasion. We're planning a stylish celebration dinner for this special occasion so all appropriate dress is warmly welcomed.
Party guests of younger years
If you have small children, you'll know them better than anyone else. If you think they'd enjoy the full dining experience, we'll include them on the seating plan and make them ever so welcome. If they'd like to come just for the drinks reception that's fine too.
We are checking out baby sitting arrangements in the hotel and for anyone choosing a baby sitter at home, we're planning to party from 6.30pm to 11pm. We'll also post taxi links here in due course.

The Air Ambulance is one of those services we hope we will never need. But every year, they are called to thousands of accidents where their pre-hospital treatment saves lives. It costs over £50,000 a day to maintain the service and 88% of their income is raised through personal donations. The Kent Air Ambulance patrol the hugely busy sections of the M20 and M25 where their work is ever more needed
