Nestled in Horsham, West Sussex, Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens is a breathtaking Grade I listed woodland estate, renowned for its dramatic landscapes, rare plant collections and tranquil lakes. Set within 240 acres of historic gardens, the estate offers a truly memorable setting for weddings and celebrations.

Surrounded by miles of beautiful pathways, the historic rock garden and seasonal displays that evolve throughout the year, Leonardslee provides a stunning natural backdrop for your day. From vibrant rhododendrons and azaleas in Spring to the warm colours of the woodland in autumn, every season offers its own unique atmosphere for ceremonies and celebrations.

At the heart of the estate lie our peaceful lakes, reflecting the surrounding woodland and creating an elegant and romantic setting for drinks receptions, photography and quiet moments away from the celebration.

Leonardslee is also home to an abundance of wildlife, including deer, wallabies and a wide variety of birdlife, adding to the sense of occasion and making the estate feel truly special for you and your guests.

Your wedding celebration takes place in The Courtyard, a newly-refurbished, private event space nestled within the heart of the gardens. With exposed brick walls and oak-panelled flooring, this building has character and charm alongside modern conveniences such as air-conditioning and an in-built PA system.

Up to 120 guests can be seated on the long wooden tables and cross-back chairs.

There are a variety of catering options available to suit both your taste and your budget; from a pizza van, to a buffet, to a 3-course wedding breakfast.

The Courtyard also offers a private outdoor space for your guests to use. The Wine Garden is a unique area perfectly placed for a welcome drinks reception, garden games after your wedding breakfast or maybe even a silent disco in the evening. This walled-area has tables and chairs for your guests to use, taking shade under the imposing Cedar tree in the centre.

Festoon lighting looms from above, illuminating the private outdoor bar stocked with the finest Leonardslee wines.

Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens are the perfect location for the picturesque and personal wedding of your dreams. Contact our Wedding Co-ordinator Sophie to arrange a viewing of this unique space.
