Set in the heart of Sussex, nestling against the South Downs, are 80 acres of lush greenery that envelop Laughton Barns. There are four picturesque ponds for the all-important photos, and not a telegraph pole or overhead wire in sight.

The Crown barn, which offers seating for up to 250 guests, has been traditionally built using local Oak, brick and stone. The barn is rustic with exposed beams and gothic style chandeliers. On a beautiful sunny day, one entire side of the barn can be opened to give your wedding day an outdoors and very rural feel. New for 2012, the front on the barn has been replaced with bi-folding French doors, a new paved area outside the barn and planted willow trees have brought this area to life.

The Hovel is a small barn that you can use to have your civil ceremony outside in the open or inside with the new addition of a marquee for the unpredictable weather.  We provide a red carpet and PA system so the ceremony to allow all your guests to hear those important wedding vows. After the ceremony you can stroll through the green fields to your drinks reception waiting for you at the location of your choice.

Working with your event organiser, it’s up to you which elements of the grounds you choose to use as the backdrop to your event.
