Your Sussex Wedding - Page number 19 - October/November 2021 (Issue 93)

TOWN AND country Whether you dream of a secluded rural idyll or hope for an accessible urban spot Sussex has a wedding venue for you GREAT BETLEY FARMHOUSE 07899 664 070 | www.greatbetleyfarmhouse.co.uk Nestled among the beautiful Sussex countryside with sweeping views across the South Downs, Great Betley Farm is an outdoor venue that allows you to host your wedding, your way. With five acres spread over two connected fields at your disposal there’s plenty of space for the marquee or tipi of your choice as well as guest parking, camping and glamping. Plus, from the second field there’s an uninterrupted view of the South Downs and Iron Age hill fort of Chanctonbury Ring. THE “I DOS” The venue doesn’t hold a ceremony license, so the formalities would need to be taken care of elsewhere. However, you can still have a celebrant- led ceremony on the big day. There’s a pretty pond by the front lawn, which is a lovely spot for this and can host 200. Alternatively, the Event Field can accommodate 350. THE CELEBRATIONS Your reception here would be held in a marquee or tipi on the Event Field. The official capacity is 350, but the limit really is determined by the temporary event notice and the size of canvas chosen. THERE’S MORE! You’ll have exclusive use of the venue for 48 hours giving you plenty of time to set up, break down and have a rip-roaring time in between. You’re also offered two nights accommodation in the farmhouse’s four double bedrooms on a bed and breakfast basis. On-the-day coordination is available too. COUNTRY CLASSICS WEDDING VENUES 19
