If these walls could talk, they would tell of family and friends coming together, vows exchanged, toasts made, and food savoured. Every tale would be different, and every memory a new one.
Our barn can host 80-150 guests and includes seven en-suite bedrooms and a set of private rooms for the couple. From tables and chairs to a team of chefs waiting to create your menu, every detail has been considered. Just bring your dreams for your day.
Introducing the venue: A series of barns and outhouses dating from 1825, beautifully restored to create a light, warm, and airy atmosphere. They are connected in a flow that allows your day to unfold seamlessly.
Flexible spaces: From gathering to drinks, from dinner to dancing, our different spaces connect, allowing guests to move effortlessly through the venue and enabling your band or DJ to set up unnoticed. If the weather's warm and sunny, you can flow out to the courtyard. If not, your event will run just as smoothly. Pre-installed lighting, speakers, projector, and WiFi provide all the technical support you might need.
Your ceremony: Light-filled, atmospheric, and seating up to 135, the Meadow Barn is licensed to hold civil marriages and partnerships. For a sense of tranquillity, exchange your vows with the picturesque backdrop of the South Downs National Park. Both options are the perfect setting for your walk down the aisle.
Your hideaway: A private suite for you, tucked away in its secret garden. A room to prepare, with mirrors and natural light. A suite beautifully designed with space to spread out.
Your guests are nearby: The courtyard has seven double rooms with bathrooms. Its neutral colours and open layout are designed to help your guests get ready, then relax and wind down from the day's excitement.
Your drinks, your way: You can supply your drinks until 8:30 p.m. with no restrictions or corkage fees. We provide a fully stocked licenced bar to complement your chosen drinks.
Cuckoo at Farbridge: Every menu item is different, and every mouthful is delicious. From breads to chutneys to ice cream, our team strives to make as much as possible from scratch. We follow the seasons, use the freshest ingredients, and cook and serve restaurant-quality dishes straight from our kitchen.

Reviews for Farbridge
The Perfect Venue
After visiting many local venues, there was something different and subtlety special about Farbridge. From its beautiful setting within the Southdown’s, to the gorgeous barn itself, it was simply our perfect wedding venue.
All the staff have the finest attention to detail throughout the whole process, we had the pleasure of dealing with Ellie and Eleanor during the planning stages and we were definitely in safe hands. Having never been to a wedding as adults we were very green going into the process and barley knew where to start. Ellie and Eleanor guided us through the process and held our hand when ever we needed it, with attentive replies to messages and all the venue visits we needed. Something we loved in particular was the tasting evening hosted by the Farbridge staff, the barns were set and dressed as they would be on a wedding day. The execution of the whole evening gave us the ultimate confidence in all the staff and especially the chefs in the kitchen, as the food was simply incredible. It was also a great time to meet other couples who had chosen Farbridge and get some ideas from them for the big day.
Nothing felt set in stone and the staff couldn’t have done enough to make sure the day was exactly as we wanted it and had to be done their way which we felt at some other venues. The menu was completely bespoke to us, timings throughout the day were flexible and the décor could all be changed to just as we wanted.
Our actual wedding day was nothing but perfect. Ellie and the team saw our vision and created it, removing all of the stress from our big day. She dealt with a last minute change to our guest list as if it was nothing, as well as organising all of the suppliers on the day. We were absolutely speechless when we first saw what they done with the barns and the seamless transitions throughout the day just ran perfectly smoothly, we can’t thank them enough. We also have to give a special shout to Julie for making sure we felt no stress before the guests arrived on the day, she made sure the boys were all dressed on time and had the buttonholes ready and that the bridal party had everything they needed whilst getting ready.
We truly believe that our calm and little to no stress approach to the wedding day is largely down the team at Farbridge and the confidence we had in them to deliver the perfect day.
We have had so many amazing and heartfelt comments from guests about how amazing and beautiful the day was, so thank you to Farbridge for making our day and whole experience everything we could have dreamed off and more.
