We can comfortably accommodate 30 people per visit. We have space for 15 people at a time in the Charters Room. Whilst half a group are in the Charters Room, we have a video (COMING SOON!) the other half of your group can watch in our Classroom space.

We would suggest a minimum of 1 hour for your group booking.

We do not charge entry to the Charters, however we would appreciate a minimum £1 donation per adult, to help support our ongoing costs and our education programme.

You may wish to extend your visit by combining your visit with a Town Walk, which can be provided by Faversham Town Walks (this will incur a charge).

We also have a lunchtime space in the Guildhall, if you require it.
