Grittenham Barn

Grittenham is set in the heart of West Sussex in the South Downs National Park. The barn, farmhouse and outbuildings form a historic site that was mentioned in the Domesday Book. We do a maximum of 40 weddings a year which means that each one is unique and there is no feeling of being on a conveyor belt. Couples and their friends and family have access from 9 am the day before their wedding until noon the following day giving you plenty of time to set up to enable you to enjoy your big day to the full. Our historic Sussex Barn has been carefully and thoughtfully renovated. It features a stunning central fireplace, vaulted ceiling and traditional iron chandeliers which look incredible adorned with flowers. The space is beautiful but flexible; with lighting, flowers, and candles, you can easily create the mood you want for your wedding - be it elegant, relaxed and romantic or dramatic. The barn seats 120 people comfortably or 250 standing. Tables, chairs and lighting are included in the hire price. A lovely, traditional canvas marquee is also available to hire; this was made specifically for the grass area next to the courtyard, and works brilliantly for reception drinks, music or as a chill-out area. Grittenham Barn is set in 7 acres of stunning grounds with many beautiful garden areas to enjoy with your guests. We also have two beautiful self contained accommodations with open-plan living room/kitchen, double bedroom and bathrooms which are available for couples and their family to book. Admire the views of the South Downs and neighbouring vineyard, visit our donkeys and pigs, or watch the ducks paddling on the lake. The opportunities for stunning wedding photographs are endless! Grittenham Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies, both inside the barn and in the grounds, or you can choose to get married at one of the beautiful local country churches. Tillington church is spectacular and features in a number of Turner paintings. Please come and visit.
