PEELINGS MANOR BARNS 07933 092 102 | https://peelingsmanorbarns.co.uk Peelings Manor Barns is the ideal DIY venue, offering a perfect blank canvas for wedding receptions. The manor of Peeling is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but there’s been a settlement on the site since Anglo- Saxon times. The earliest surviving part of the manor house dates from the late 15 th -century, and the farm buildings from the 1850s. Located in Hankham, just outside Eastbourne, the space includes the stunning, Grade II listed, traditional Sussex flint barn, barnyard, cloisters, and access to a site at the back of the barn should you wish to extend the space with a marquee. THE CELEBRATIONS Receptions take place in the Flint Barn, which has capacity for 100 guests for a sit-down wedding breakfast, and 200 across the whole venue for the evening. THERE’S MORE! You won’t be tied to any preferred suppliers and services, so you’re able to shape your own personal vision of your big day, with freedom of choice. SOUTH LODGE 01403 891 711 | www.exclusive.co.uk/south-lodge South Lodge offers a tasteful balance of traditional and modern design seamlessly blending the old with the new. Located in the heart of the Sussex Downs and set within 93 acres of parkland, you and your guests can enjoy the striking scenery whatever the season. The sweeping drive leads to the neo-Jacobean house, which has been sympathetically extended to create a location for either a formal wedding celebration or a fun festival-style wedding set in the Lower Lodge Meadow. THE “I DOS” You have a choice of four ceremony spots with capacity for four to 180 guests. The Wordsworth Suite (80-180 guests) is situated on the hotel’s lower ground floor and has patio doors that lead on to the terrace where loved ones can mingle. Glyndebourne (51-80 guests) can be found on the first floor. It has double aspect windows and a long walkway for a dramatic bridal party entrance. Goodwood, on the first floor, is the most intimate (4-50 guests) and offers the option of a long or short aisle. Finally for the vows, there’s the Wedding Pavilion (180 guests). Dressed to impress in a red carpet it offers the option of open-air “I dos” with the 19 th -century building in the background. THE CELEBRATIONS Larger receptions are hosted in Gladstone (50-180 guests). This is a banqueting room that boasts triple-aspect windows, high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers and views of the South Downs. Plus, its neutral colour palette means it’s easy to incorporate your own theme. Alternatively, Disraeli (10-50 guests) is ideal for intimate celebrations and offers access to a private terrace.
