Seven beautiful Sussex barn wedding venues
If you’re looking for a rustic barn wedding venue in Sussex, I have great news! You will be spoilt for choice as there are so many wonderful barns to consider, from purpose built stylish venues to converted old barns and farms. I love a rustic style barn wedding and had my wedding at Sussex barn almost 15 years ago. The choice has grown more since then and here are some of my favourites, which I’ve chosen for their beautiful rural settings, welcoming atmosphere and the flexibility they offer to couples to create a truly unique personal wedding day.
1. Pangdean Barn near Brighton
Pangdean Barn is a relaxed yet elegant venue situated in the South Downs National Park – and only five minutes from my studio! The historic farm offers exclusive use of the venue for your day and a choice of beautiful spots to get married in: the old barn, the smaller intimate stables or under the apple trees in the mulberry lodge. I love being at Pangdean and it has such a welcoming feel, from the beautiful gardens to the helpful staff.

2. Hawthbush Farm near Heathfield
Weddings at Hawthbush Farm are relaxed and magical affairs. They only take on one per weekend and you have exclusive use from Friday to Sunday to really make it your own – perfect for creative couples. The woodland ceremony area is very special and has such a peaceful feel, in fact I have never been more relaxed and calm at a wedding set-up than those at Hawthbush listening to the birds while I work! The rustic wonky barn is another option for your ceremony and there is accommodation available on site as well.

3. Fitzleroi Barn near Pulborough
Every wedding at Fitzerloi is unique - you can bring your own style to celebrate your wedding, your way, with exclusive use Friday to Saturday. A family-run wedding venue, Fitzerloi farm is located in a peaceful spot near the village of Fittleworth and surrounded by rolling Sussex countryside. The 16th century barn is beautiful, and the venue offers flexible choices on decoration and various ceremony options.

4. Brookfield Barn near Horsham
An exclusive, purpose built events venue in West Sussex, tucked away in beautiful countryside. Say your vows outside by the beautiful lake or in the barn with views of the grounds - either provides the most idyllic backdrop! Brookfield Barn is full of rustic charm and contemporary comforts with 10 luxury bedrooms available, each with its own view.

5. Montague Farm near Pevensey
Montague Farm is a special place, an 18th century complex of barns, courtyards and homes with an amazing view over the hills and out to sea. Montague Farm boasts three stylishly restored barns – the Big Barn, the Watering Shed and the Pig’s Palace (who doesn’t want to get married in a pig’s palace?!) and your guests can glamp in one of the beautiful furnished bell tents. I loved being at Montague Farm and cannot wait to return!
6. Cissbury Barn near Worthing
Cissbury Barns is a hidden gem, located on the Cissbury Estate and surrounded by woods and horses, with sea views and open vistas. You can get married in the East Barn or opt for an outdoor ceremony. A stretch tent for drinks is an option as well as a beautiful walled garden and bar available for use. And you can get ready in style onsite at the North Wing Apartment. A lovely place to celebrate.

7. Upwaltham Barn near Petworth
One of the prettiest barn venues in West Sussex, family-run Upwaltham does barn weddings in style. A collection of light-filled barns with flint walls and neutral style, assembled around the charming flower-filled courtyard: everything has been thought of at Upwaltham to make your day run as seamlessly as possible. And extra bonus the pretty Jasmine cottage is available for your use all day (and overnight).
