Celebrations of Life at Sweetwoods

At Sweetwoods, we understand how difficult — and how meaningful — it is to mark the passing of a loved one. We offer dedicated periods throughout the year when families can come together in a peaceful, natural setting to remember, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived.

Whether you are seeking an alternative to a traditional crematorium or funeral chapel, arranging a wake following a service, or planning a more personal celebration of life, our experienced team will support you throughout the planning process and be present on the day to ensure everything runs smoothly.

We welcome memorial gatherings following services held at local churches, chapels, and the Kent & Sussex Crematorium at Tunbridge Wells, as well as Humanist or non-religious celebrations of life held entirely at Sweetwoods.

Weddings

Celebrate your special day in a private, countryside setting, with flexible spaces, professional support, and the freedom to personalise your reception.

 

Birthdays & Parties

From milestone birthdays to relaxed social gatherings, our versatile function room and tailored event options make Sweetwoods the ideal venue for celebrations of all kinds.
