Our Sustainability Commitments
Our Vow to Protect the Future: Planting Trees with the National Trust At Southdowns Manor, we believe that weddings should not only celebrate love but also contribute to a better future for generations to come. That’s why, for every wedding we host, we plant a tree in partnership with the National Trust. This scheme is very close to our hearts, and reflects our commitment to protecting the environment and helping our beautiful planet thrive. We understand that sustainability is about making mindful choices every day. Even small changes can make a big difference when it comes to preserving our fragile ecosystems. As part of our commitment, we are proud to take eco-conscious steps wherever possible. Eco-Friendly Materials All of our wedding folders are made from eco-friendly paper, reducing waste that would otherwise end up in landfill. Many people don’t realise that paper can be recycled up to five times – which means each choice has a lasting impact. Importantly, choosing recycled or eco materials doesn’t mean compromising on quality. Our folders are durable, high-quality, and help us save trees for the future. Supporting Local Businesses We are passionate about working with local suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure the highest quality for our couples. From ethical local butchers to fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables sourced from nearby farms, we are proud to bring the best of the South East to your wedding day. By choosing local, we not only support our community but also cut down on unnecessary transport emissions. At Southdowns Manor, we see sustainability as part of our responsibility as a wedding venue set in the heart of such stunning countryside. By hosting your special day with us, you’re not only creating lifelong memories, but also helping to protect the environment and support eco-friendly practices. Together, we can make a difference—one wedding, one tree, one small step at a time.
