Upwaltham Barns

The boutique Upwaltham Barns is set in the heart of the picturesque South Downs National Park in West Sussex. Infused with eclectic style, rustic charm and culture, it’s a truly unique and beautiful place for the two of you to tie the knot.

Across the venue you’ll find traditional flint long barns, a cosy Moroccan snug and the charming, typically English styled Jasmine Cottage – where you’ll begin your big day.

Jasmine Cottage is yours for the duration of your wedding. You can get ready here in the morning and use it as your own personal space at any point during the day. Styled with shabby chic décor and furnished with antique furniture and a freestanding roll top bath, it’s the perfect place to relax in at the beginning and at the end of your special day. French windows also open up to a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard. So you can experience the excitement as your guests arrive, and enjoy the setting’s tranquillity together at the end of the night.

Your civil ceremony will take place in the lovingly restored East Barn. Up to 160 guests will be able to join you here. With its floor to ceiling windows and breath-taking views of rolling countryside, the setting really is quite hard to beat.

The Courtyard is in the heart of the barns and is a great space to enjoy drinks and canapés. With outdoor seating, parasols, topiary and colourful pots, it’s a lovely spot for your guests to catch up and celebrate your day. You’ll also find a secluded Moroccan Snug within the courtyard. Its cushions and throws in a rainbow of colours and chunky wooden furniture make it a unique and cosy chill out area for all guests to enjoy.

Your celebrations will continue in the rustic, warm South Barn, where you’ll enjoy a delicious wedding breakfast and an evening reception. Tea lights will twinkle from recesses in the decorative brickwork and white fairy lights will adorn the authentic wooden beams, adding a touch of magic to the final hours of your day.
