The Orangery is set within a three acre walled garden, and offers exclusive use of the beautifully landscaped grounds and extensive facilities. Full of character and charm, the light and airy room is licensed for marriages and civil partnerships; you can also get married outside within the beautiful grounds. Our stunning, pagoda-style marquee, seating up to 85 guests, is available for receptions on the lawn, and is included in the venue hire price. To keep your guests entertained, we have croquet, crazy golf, beach volleyball, table tennis, pétanque, outdoor table football and much more within the walled garden.

Simply stunning!

The owners were a dream to work with and helped me add all of the little touches on the day, even hiring out random decor that was not initially asked for to help finish off our tables and other rooms. They changed everything for us literally 2 days before the wedding due to the weather. They were brilliant with my Celebrant and the communication between them was exceptional. They calmed my nerves so much walking down the aisle because they were so professional and prepared. The grounds were beautiful and so romantic. Their description of it being a 'Well kept secret' was perfect because you cannot see a thing until you enter the grounds, but when you do, it takes your breathe away. The day was a dream and we couldn't have hoped for anything more.

Simply the best

This was the most amazing venue for our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and our dream wedding came true. An outdoor ceremony in the pagoda followed by celebrations in the marquee. Fantastic day has by us and all our guests.

Plenty of photo opportunities ...

Gorgeous venue with stunning gardens. If you are looking for an outdoors style wedding then definitely worth a look. Friendly staff and plenty of photo opportunities. As a Brighton wedding videographer I have no problem travelling to venues as fab as this.

I have been to many functions there. Such a beautiful place, beautifully kept enclosed walled gardens, each part of the gardens has quirky, interesting things to see or interact with. Owners have a real pride in the place and plenty of parking.

Absolutely stunning ...

We had our wedding here in 2016. It's absolutely stunning. The day was more than perfect, the grounds are beautiful and so well kept. I would give them 5 stars.

Perfect settings for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies

Excellent location and friendly professional staff. Plenty for children and adults to do in a beautiful and safe setting. Well-manicured walled gardens and plenty of seating area. Spacious marquee for wedding breakfasts, etc, and perfect setting for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. Clean wc's and a small but adequate bar area for ordering and collecting both alcohol and beverages.
