Built in 1805, the year of Trafalgar, Kennaway House is a handsome Regency mansion standing in its own grounds at the heart of Sidmouth. After a 1 million restoration carried out in 2008-2009, Kennaway House and its gardens offer an historic and beautiful setting for many purposes. The main Regency floor provides impressive gallery space for art and other exhibitions.
With its high, graceful rooms the House is also a romantic wedding venue for your ceremony and/or reception. The Cellar Bar is perfect for parties of all kinds for up to 100 people. We also have meeting rooms to accommodate groups from 10 to 70, suitable for business training and conferences. Kennaway House is an ideal venue for meetings, training, seminars, workshops and conferences.
Kennaway House is equipped to exhibit the work of artists, from professional artists, to talented amateurs and school and college students. Left to the community in 1905, Kennaway House has been a charitable building for over a century. Now a small independent trust, the house is managed by a board of trustees, all local to the area, and an office of three staff.
