About Farbridge
Once an old dairy, now beautifully restored, Farbridge nestles in the rolling downlands of the South Downs National Park, a quiet oasis of natural beauty.
Our barn can host 80-150 guests, and includes seven en-suite bedrooms as well as 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.
Introducing the venue - A series of barns and outhouses dating from 1825, beautifully restored to create a light, warm and airy atmosphere. Connected one to another in a flow that allows your day to unfold seamlessly.
Flexible spaces - From gathering to drinks, from dinner to dancing, our different spaces connect to each other, allowing guests to move easily through the venue, 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 and atmospheric, with seating for 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 the perfect setting to your walk down the aisle. Choices for where guests arrive and gather, for how you make your entrance and to what music – live or recorded, you choose how your day unfolds.
Your hideaway - A private suite for you, tucked away in its own secret garden. A room to prepare, with mirrors and natural light. A suite, beautifully designed with space to spread out.
Your guests nearby - Seven double rooms with bathrooms en suite. Their neutral colours and open layout are designed to help your guests get ready, then relax and wind down from the excitement of the day.

We have a variety of ceremony options here at Farbridge including our beautiful courtyard space, with the rolling hills of the South Downs as a backdrop for your wedding photos.
We do not charge any corkage for you to provide your own drinks up until 8:30pm.
As standard, access to the barns for yourselves and your suppliers is from 10:00am on the morning of your wedding. The suite and first guest bedroom are available from 11:00am for the wedding parties to finish getting ready. All guest bedrooms are available from 1:00pm.
Our license allows for music to be played until 11:30pm. We recommend that guests pre-book taxis and are off-site by midnight.
Due to the livestock located in the surrounding fields, sadly, we are unable to accommodate fireworks here at Farbridge with the exception of 05th November and New Year’s Eve.
We kindly ask that all confetti is made of real petals, fresh or dried. To let you know, confetti is only permitted to be used in the Meadow Barn.
You can absolutely use candles in and around the venue, we just ask that these are in suitable holders such as lanterns, votives or candlestick holders. Candles lining the aisle, must be fully enclosed to avoid any incidents with wedding dresses or veils!
We have a total of seven guest bedrooms and our suite, just a stone’s throw away from the barns, each accommodating two adults in each room. Please note, these rooms are booked through our couples and we do not take direct bookings for these. We can accommodate up to six children across all bedrooms however, we do not have beds or linen for them so their legal guardians will need to bring these along.
There’s plenty of choice for your guests to stay locally, with B&Bs and guesthouses right on our doorstep. Bigger hotels are also just a 10-minute drive away in Chichester.
