Best Venue Ever!

What can I say about this venue. Oh my god this venue was everything I wanted, needed and more. We first visited Devils Dyke Farm in 2024, two and half years before we actually got married and fell head over heels for it. Just walking into this venue was perfect. The views, even in February, were stunning. I don’t think you will find any other venue with stunning views like this in Brighton or Sussex. The grounds are amazingly well maintained, with lush green plants and colourful flowers all around. One of the more unique parts of this venue is the fact that it has part of a disused railway in the gardens. A piece of track still remains and it’s such a beautiful touch to an already stunning venue. All our guests when they first arrived literally had their breath taken away at the sight of the view and the first thing they were doing was going to take pictures. And that was just the outside. The inside is a very beautifully decorated marquee with clear panelling across the side so you still have access to the beautiful views. If the weather allows, these screens can be lifted and the photos we got from here were brilliant. The venue has an amazing sound system which can localise sound to just the dance floor so those who are unsure about loud noises can still be inside the venue without getting stressed by the noise and still be a part of the day. There are also disco lights and a huge disco ball which again adds to the party vibe. The bathrooms are very nicely decorated and they have disability and changing facilities which again really helped all our guests feel comfortable on the day. Beautiful surroundings and amazingly decorated.

The venue is of course stunning but what really makes this venue are the owners Lindsay and Mike. Our wedding would not have been a success without them. We regularly visited the venue for open evenings and days with family and friends who wanted to see the venue in the lead up to our big day and every time Mike and Lindsay remembered who we were, they remembered my dad which was such a small detail but made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. Any questions we had they answered them. Anytime we had a crazy idea like getting a mechanical rodeo bull in for our guests, they made it work. They had the professionalism of a big business but the compassion and hospitality of a small family business. Where wedding venues nowadays act like cold, manufacturing, machines at times, they add a much needed warmth to this industry. You can tell they have put everything into this venue and that again makes this place so special. They also have bought in an amazing wedding day coordinating Grace, who matches their energy and enthusiasm about this venue and provides an excellent experience. She checked on us throughout the day making sure we were happy with everything and coordinated our vendors politely and with respect for their work. I am so thankful they bought in Grace as she greatly added to the day and made everything so special. We will really miss emailing Grace, Mike, and Lindsay about changes to our plan and updates about the day as even when we were telling them issues we were having with getting certain licenses, they were still warm and ready to help. Big shout out to Mike as well who set up a TV for my dad’s speech!

We could not recommend this venue enough, every detail was perfect. All our guests said this was the best venue they had ever been to for a wedding and a few people asked if they could steal it for their weddings. I want all my friends/ family to have their wedding here just so I can go back and experience this beautiful place again.

Please please book this venue I promise you will not regret it. Thank you to all the Devils Dyke Farm team for your amazing work and dedication. We miss you and you’ll see us at open evenings again!

My sons fabulous wedding

I couldn’t be happier with the venue my son and new daughter‑in‑law picked for their wedding. The location was beautiful, the venue top‑class, the food delicious, and every member of staff was wonderful.

A special thank you to Lindsay, Mike and Grace, who made sure the whole day ran smoothly and exactly the way the bride and groom wanted.

It was everything I hoped for and more. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding.

Amazing wedding venue!


We had our wedding at Devils Dyke farm in June and couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The views were stunning and our guests commented on how special it felt. There was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the day fully. The lighting and dance floor created the perfect atmosphere for a great party.
Mike and Lindsay were fantastic hosts - always available, flexible and supportive. We highly recommend this venue!

Absolutely incredible!

Mike and Lindsey are simply incredible! They were just so nice throughout the process and made the wedding planning much less stressful. They are super super helpful and will even learn how to do cocktails just for your party. The venue has the most amazing views and the perfect outside ceremony area. They also have loots of things already there, so you would be covered for chairs, tables, arch, and even decorations! They offered to do a wine tasting as well, so we could choose which wines we wanted for the wedding and we had a great time. We were so so happy we chose their venue, because it was a massive part of making our day the most perfect one. We would recommend it to everyone 100%!!

A Once in a Lifetime Wedding at Devil’s Dyke Farm

We had the most incredible experience with Devil’s Dyke Farm Weddings! From the very beginning, Lindsay and Mike were an absolute dream to work with. They were so accommodating, letting us visit the venue multiple times to take measurements and plan everything perfectly. Their communication was amazing – they always replied so quickly and were so supportive throughout the whole process.

They were also incredibly flexible and understanding when it came to our catering needs. We wanted halal food options for our guests, and they made it so easy for us to bring in an external caterer. That level of accommodation really meant the world to us and made our day feel so personal and inclusive.

On the day, our guests were blown away by the breathtaking location. The views are truly something special, and the unique history of the farm being a former train station made it even more memorable. I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better team or a more stunning venue.

Highly, highly recommend!

Incredible venue!

We had our wedding here and it was amazing! The picturesque countryside setting, with rolling hills and breathtaking views, created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and Mike & Lindsay went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless, from the seamless coordination to the amazing food. The marquee was incredible, and the outdoor space was perfect for our ceremony and photos. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning location and warm atmosphere. The brochure just doesn’t do it justice. Devils Dyke Farm made our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we’d recommend it to any couple looking for a romantic venue!
