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

PEELINGS MANOR BARNS 07933 092 102 | https://peelingsmanorbarns.co.uk Peelings Manor Barns, found nestled in the pretty hamlet of Hankham, is located between the South Downs and the Pevensey Levels. The manor of Peelings is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but there has been a settlement on the site since Anglo-Saxon times and likely long before that. The manor and farm buildings are Grade II listed, with the earliest surviving part of the manor house dating back to the late 15th century, and the farm buildings from the 1850s. Peelings Manor Barns is a totally DIY venue and the perfect blank canvas for wedding receptions. The venue space includes the Grade II listed traditional Sussex Flint Barn with its characterful cartwheel chandeliers and enclosed outdoor spaces. You hire the space only, everything else is up to you. You have complete freedom of choice so you can organise the day of your dreams. While the venue isn’t licensed for ceremonies, many choose to opt for a blessing during their reception. This can happen anywhere within the total venue space. For your wedding breakfast and big bash you and your loved ones have the run of the whole venue, with room for 100 in the Flint Barn and 200 site-wide.
