The Great Thatched Barn at Falmer Court

Just outside Brighton in East Sussex, this historic venue on a large idyllic estate enjoys breathtaking rolling countryside views. The centuries-old barn and picturesque gardens create romance and retro charm. Cathedral ceilings, timber cross beams, and thatch roof transport visitors backward in time. A canopy of fairy lights adorns the ceiling, enhancing the barn's romantic ambience. Accommodating up to 200 seated guests or smaller customised numbers, the space divides into compartments for varied group sizes. Indoor ceremony options exist alongside the village Anglican church, St Laurence, one stone's throw away. Outdoor vows occur in the Formal Gardens before a fountain and South Downs greenery with Falmer Court House framing the backdrop. Guest accommodations include stylish loop-back Bent chairs.
