Our story
Leven is a Waterside Wedding and Intimate Dining Venue located in North Kent.
Based on-board ‘Leven Is Strijd’ (Life is a struggle), a 29M Dutch Barge built-in 1928, we offer an intimate setting for up to 24-28 guests.
Please Note: This is a unique boat venue – perfect for an intimate wedding but not suitable for young children or those with mobility issues.
