Your Sussex Wedding - October/November 2023 (Issue 105)

SOUTHLANDS BARN 01798 306 550 | www.southlandsbarn.co.uk Southlands Barn is a rustic 17th-century structure, part of the Southlands Farm Estate, which is situated in the heart of West Sussex in the quaint village of West Chiltington. Here, you’ll find two barns allowing your entire day to flow smoothly. There’s also a fabulous bar area, plus indoor and outdoor courtyard areas. Don’t miss the snooker room with comfy couches and fireplace. With its rolling fields, picturesque lake and breathtaking views of the South Downs, Southlands Barn is a working farm, which means there’s plenty of wildlife roaming around, so keep an eye out for pheasants, foxes, hawks, ducks, geese, native birds and the farm’s very own freerange cows who wander in each evening for their dinner. Ceremonies are held in the 17th-century barn, which has a capacity of 150 guests. Alternatively, if al fresco vows are what you dream of, the pergola overlooking the South Downs offers spectacular views. It too can accommodate 150 loved ones. Once you’re wed, celebrate in the Cattle Barn with 150 of your nearest and dearest. This is the second converted barn with glass bottle chandeliers, drapes and fairylights. Indeed, very little additional décor is needed for this characterful space. The venue offers its couples a free wine tasting evening allowing you to blind pick your wines. You’ll also have use of the bridal suite in which to get ready. With its three-day exclusive hire, the venue is yours from Friday to Sunday to use as you wish. Midweek hires are for two days.
