Candid Club Presents: The Night at Kelvedon Hall
HeritageXplore & Candid Club have joined forces to create something truly special this February.
Located just 19 miles outside London, Kelvedon Hall will play host to an evening of food, music, and art. Guests will enjoy drinks and dinner surrounded by a beautifully curated art collection, a crackling fire, stone walls that have seen ten generations come and go...and parties that attracted royalty, artists, and scandal in equal measure.
But how do you reach such a place? After a short 20-minute train from Liverpool Street to Shenfield, you'll be escorted by a fleet of vintage London buses on a 10-minute direct journey to your final destination. The whole trip is quicker than Wandsworth to Notting Hill, and infinitely more enchanting than the Central line.
At the end of the night, the buses will return you to Shenfield in time for the final trains back to London.
Your ticket includes bus transport, welcome drinks, a three-course dinner, and dancing into the night.
We can't wait to see you there.

MORE ABOUT THIS LOCATION
KELVEDON HALL
Discover complete rural tranquility, where Adam-esque interiors, the stunning Rose Garden, and centuries of history await—just a short journey from London.
Kelvedon Hall
Kelvedon Hall stands as a remarkable testament to English architectural and social heritage, rooted in a medieval manor site and transformed through centuries of distinguished ownership. Originally acquired by the Wright family in 1538, the current red brick structure—built in a distinctive U-plan—comprises a three-storey central block connected to two-storey pavilions, embodying the architectural elegance of its era.
In 1937, Henry 'Chips' Channon, a prominent socialite, purchased the estate, marking a significant chapter in its history. Channon's stewardship brought notable enhancements, including a uniquely styled 'Neo-Austrian-Baroque' swimming pool pavilion designed by William Kellner and entrance lodges created by Wellesley and Wells. The interior reflects this rich narrative, featuring Adamesque-style rooms from the 1780s, a John Churchill ceiling mural, and mid-1960s redesigns by David Hicks.
Recognised for its historical and architectural significance, Kelvedon Hall is a Grade I listed building, with additional structures like its lodges, orangery, and stable block also receiving heritage protection. The hall remains a private residence, continuing the Channon family's legacy and serving as a living document of English social history. Its historic Rose Garden has found new life as a venue for opera and theatrical events, further enriching the estate's cultural significance and connection to the arts.
Private tours, and further details, will be coming soon.
