Kenward Place
Our commercial enterprise at Kenward Trust
Whilst we do receive some statutory funding, this is insufficient to cover the breadth of complex and long-term support work that we undertake with so many individuals. To try to cover some of this deficit, we opened our tea room, introduced alpacas to Kenward and launched our function rooms; and so Kenward Place was born.
All funds raised at Kenward Place go directly towards helping us provide the best care possible to those using our services and ultimately help us to continue saving lives.
Due to the nature of our work, Kenward Trust is a closed site to the public. However, Kenward Place is open to pre-booked visitors so please ensure you use the correct driveway when accessing our site!
You can find out more about the elements that Kenward Place consists of below, or you can visit the Kenward Place website directly.
We have also created an online shop where you can purchase Kenward Place merchandise and all things alpaca!

We offer our visitors the chance to meet or walk our beautiful alpacas; Pepe, Luigi, Romeo, Maximilian, Mario, Gizmo, Idris & Dreyfus!
Our Alpaca Experience is the best way to meet and interact with our alpacas! Spend an hour learning about them as you walk across our fifteen acres of Kent countryside.
Each of our alpacas has its own distinct personality, but they are all incredibly friendly and gentle, letting you walk them through our woodland and they get just as excited as you do about their walk!
