SOUTH DOWNS MANOR

Your Dream Country House Wedding Venue

Romantic settings don’t get more perfect than the South Downs National Park. Bordering Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex, the park is home to rolling hills, lush countryside and rare species.

Step into the park, and the stresses of city life will fade away, leaving you with nothing but peace, tranquility and breathtaking views.

We know how lucky we are to have this superb location, and it’s within easy access to the home counties.

Country house weddings come to life here; our remote setting allows you and your loved ones to spend quality time together.

A lavish setting for your ceremony

The first thing you’ll notice about Southdowns Manor is its beautiful architecture, which epitomises traditional British design.

High ceilings and airy rooms showcase the vastness of our house, but the modern décor allows you to appreciate a contemporary theme that will make you and your guests feel at home.

With a special room dedicated to civil ceremonies, you’ll marvel at the splendour and intimacy it offers.

Relax in our honeymoon suite

With all the excitement of your wedding, it’s only natural to want a place to relax. Our beautiful honeymoon suite was carefully planned and decorated to offer tranquillity and the first-class atmosphere you’d expect.

The room features a four-poster bed, walk-in shower and freestanding bath. You can also look over the manicured gardens and witness the sprawling countryside from your large window.

Guest suites

Your most important guests can also share the experience of staying at Southdowns Manor, with a range of unique rooms available. When you book a wedding with us, you have exclusive use of two lavish suites and 12 beautiful rooms.

The guest rooms have beautiful views and ensuites, making your stay comfortable and welcoming.

The banqueting suite

We offer an extensive menu of expertly prepared food and a buffet if you’d prefer a more relaxed reception. The banqueting suite is the perfect place to eat, drink and celebrate sharing your vows.

Our dedicated team will keep the drinks flowing and transform the room into a party place for your evening celebrations.

Formal gardens

As one of the finest wedding venues the UK has to offer, Southdowns Manor also offers lush gardens for our guests to enjoy. The spring and summer months are ideal for the outdoor wedding of your dreams, and our gardens never fail to create a magical setting.
