Your Sussex Wedding - Dec/Jan 2019 (Issue 82)

BROOKFIELD BARN 01403 288 515 | brookfieldbarn.co.uk This all-weather venue offers a spacious, contemporary bar and lounge area inside the adjoining country house leading through to the light and airy barn. Upstairs there’s a bridal suite, six further bedrooms and a prep room for the bride squad. The beauty of this venue is that it’s styled in a way that doesn’t need a lot of decoration, but if you do want to put your own stamp on it, the neutral scheme lends itself to any palette. There’s a large terrace at the back of the bar with a covered seating area and tables, which can double up as firepits for guests to use at night – perfect for melted marshmallows! The barn’s idyllic position off of a West Sussex country lane affords stunning panoramic views across the lake and wider grounds including a nine-hole golf course. SPACE TO CELEBRATE ❤ Barn (138 ceremony and dining guests). ❤ Arbour (138 ceremony guests). ❤ Lakeside Terrace is available for drinks and canapés with views across the grounds, as well as access to the bar and lounge area. ❤ Lounge and bar alongside the barn and terrace are all available for you to utilise for your evening reception (200 reception guests). WE LOVE... the suitability of this venue is for a winter wedding! With all of the areas linked you’ll still have plenty of bright contemporary space, warmed by underfloor heating, if the weather is on the chilly side. MICHELHAM PRIORY HOUSE & GARDENS 01323 844 224 | sussexpast.co.uk/venue-hire Set in seven acres of beautiful gardens, Michelham Priory is sited on an island surrounded by England’s longest Medieval water-filled moat. The moment you step through the 14th-century gatehouse, past the Tudor manor house, to the Elizabethan Great Barn, your future meets with the past. Located in the beautiful Cuckmere Valley of East Sussex, this historical venue offers you complete tranquility, whilst still being within easy reach of Brighton, London, Surrey and Kent. SPACE TO CELEBRATE ❤ The Elizabethan Barn is a wonderful location for your “I dos” and celebrations, jam-packed with features and charm (130 guests). WE LOVE... the annual membership to Sussex Archaeological Society that’s gifted to you when you book your wedding here. It gives you the opportunity to return to the venue and the Society’s five other properties as often as you like. murrayclarke.co.uk murrayclarke.co.uk 30
