Private, central, and full of character
Looking for the perfect venue to host a birthday party in Tunbridge Wells? Searching for something a little more special than a dusty function room or awkward “private area” that isn’t actually private?
We’ve got you!
Fonthill Taproom sits just behind The George, just a few minutes walk from Tunbridge Wells town centre. It’s a cosy, proper space with its own bar, loads of charm, and the kind of atmosphere that makes a birthday feel like a party, not a meeting.
Perfect for a big 40th bash, or just a private get-together with your mates, where you can raise a glass or three and enjoy each other’s company.
The Perfect Venue for Birthday Parties
Not convinced? Here’s a few more reasons to book your next party at the taproom…
It’s a private venue. Properly private.
No sharing the space. No people wandering through. It’s just you and whoever you invite.
Fully stocked bar, and the beer is brewed on site.
Our brewery (Fonthill Brewing Co.) is just a few steps away. You’ll be drinking beer that’s fresher than fresh!
No hire fee to book your party venue
We don’t charge you to use the function room. We just ask for a £150 deposit, which goes towards your tab on the night.
Central location, great vibes.
Just a few minutes from the station. Easy to find. Even to get home from. Plus, there’s something special about throwing a party in what used to be an 1800s stable block. These days it’s all pints and no ponies – but the character’s still very much intact!
