Description

Lovingly restored, this family-owned venue exudes warmth and friendliness. The atmosphere is wonderfully welcoming and relaxed, providing a secluded country idyll that is exclusively yours on your day. Upwaltham Barns is full of charm and character, offering rustic elegance for your wedding celebrations. Begin your day in the calming Orchard Room, a dedicated preparation space that feels both practical and indulgent in equal measure. When preparations are complete, the light-filled East Barn with its floor-to-ceiling windows, wooden beams and and views of the South Downs welcomes you as the ideal backdrop to say ‘I do’. Following your romantic ceremony, your guests move out into the flower-filled courtyard to mingle and enjoy drinks and canapes. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with the Moroccan style snug and contemporary copper-topped tables in the Stable Bar.

The spacious South Barn is the perfect setting for your wedding reception. The wooden beams, flint stone walls and neutral colour scheme will complement any of your decorations perfectly. The barn has a warm and inviting atmosphere, whatever the season, with underfloor heating, candlelit wrought iron candelabras, seated dining for up to 150 guests and plenty of space for evening entertainment. From formal wedding breakfasts to informal barbeques, the South Barn provides the perfect backdrop for treasured memories.

A perfect wedding venueA perfect wedding venue
From the moment we visited Upwaltham Barns we knew it was the one! As well as being a beautiful venue, we just loved the family feel to it and knew that we would be cared for during our wedding journey. From beginning to end the customer service was outstanding and always made us feel really special. We had so many compliments from guests about how stunning the venue was - we loved how everything was together but there was separate spaces like the snug and gardens so guests could explore. We especially appreciated the care and attention to detail for our guests with dietary requirements which really went above and beyond what we expected which was amazing. We felt like part of the family and would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you to all the team at Upwaltham Barns for all your support, kindness and care during the day. A special thank you to Charis for being there for all our questions and guiding us through what such a special day for us :)From the moment we visited Upwaltham Barns we knew it was the one!

The Best Day of Our Lives!!The Best Day of Our Lives!!
We got married at Upwaltham Barns on 5th August 2026, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue or team to be part of our special day. From our very first interaction when we went to view the venue, Nicola and Kate made such a lasting impression on us. They addressed us by name, made us feel instantly welcome, and gave us the feeling that we were exactly where we were meant to be. It never felt like we were simply viewing a wedding venue, we felt like we belonged there. Throughout the planning process and on the day itself, the entire team were incredibly attentive, supportive and accommodating. They truly went above and beyond to make us feel completely at ease. Nothing ever felt like too much to ask, and whenever we had a question, request or simply needed some reassurance, they were there to help. Their care and attention made such a difference and allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And then there was the food! It was absolutely amazing. We had a bespoke menu in mind that was really important to us, and the team completely nailed it. Every course was delicious, beautifully presented and exactly what we had hoped for. It was so special seeing something we had discussed and planned come together so perfectly on the day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food either, which was a huge compliment to the kitchen team. The barns themselves are absolutely immaculate, but still retain so much character and charm. The setting is beautiful, and the venue provided the most incredible backdrop for our wedding. Every detail felt considered and well looked after. What really sets Upwaltham Barns apart, though, is the people. The level of care, warmth and professionalism we experienced from the whole team was exceptional. They genuinely care about the couples they work with, and that was evident from the moment we first walked through the doors right through to the end of our wedding day. To Nicola, Kate and the whole team at Upwaltham Barns, thank you for everything you did for us. You helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be, and we will always have such wonderful memories of the venue and, most importantly, the people who made us feel so welcome. We couldn’t recommend Upwaltham Barns highly enough. If you’re considering getting married here, go and see it for yourselves, you won’t regret it!

Wedding of our dreams 🤍Wedding of our dreams 🤍
Upwaltham Barns is the perfect venue to get married. We fell in love with it as soon as we set eyes on it; it is so beautifully looked after and just looks stunning. Every single member of staff is incredible, they looked after us brilliantly and replied to any questions we had promptly. Our guests complimented the staff and venue so many times during our day, I honestly don’t think we could have chosen any better! The day ran so smoothly, and that’s because they know what they’re doing. We were so well looked after, and nothing was too much trouble ever. Thank you Upwaltham, we want to do it all over again!Upwaltham Barns is the perfect venue to get married.

The most incredible venue The most incredible venue
We got married at Upwaltham barns a couple of weeks ago. It was the most unbelievable day we could’ve wished for. The staff go above and beyond to make your day as special as it deserves to be. This venue is absolutely beautiful, we would recommend it to anyone. If you’re thinking of getting married in a barn setting, but with a modern touch, look no further. We honestly don’t have a single bad thing to say about the whole experience from start to finish. We stayed in the Jasmine cottage on site the night of the wedding and strongly recommend you do the same as it’s a lovely cottage and experience. Special thanks to Macy and Nicola for making our wedding day so unforgettable and special.We got married at Upwaltham barns a couple of weeks ago.

Amazing Venue & TeamAmazing Venue & Team
We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than Upwaltham Barns for our December wedding. From the moment we arrived for a viewing, it felt special not just because the barn itself is absolutely beautiful, but because of the people behind it. The whole team at Upwaltham including Nibbles2Nosh and Stable Bar are incredibly friendly, experienced, professional, and knowledgeable, and our wedding coordinators Kate & Charis made everything feel calm, organised, and effortless. Nothing was ever too much trouble - every question, request, or detail was handled with care and kindness. From day one, it truly felt like we were being welcomed into a family rather than just booking a venue. The atmosphere is warm, personal, and relaxed, and you can really feel the care that goes into every detail. The small personal touches throughout the venue make such a difference, and it’s clear how much effort and pride goes into maintaining it. You can genuinely tell that Nicola, the owner, truly cares about every couple and every wedding that takes place there. The food by the in house caterers Nibbles2Nosh was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and so many of our guests commented on how and how amazing the food was which meant a lot to us. Even our suppliers commented on how exceptionally organised the venue team were - everything ran perfectly to time, smoothly and professionally, making the whole day feel seamless and stress-free. We will always be grateful for the experience we had at Upwaltham Barns.

Amazing Venue!Amazing Venue!
I absolutely love photographing weddings at Upwaltham Barns! As a wedding photographer, it’s such a joy to work at a venue that's not only completely stunning with cottage garden vibes but also logistically brilliant. Everything is within easy reach, group photo spots are nearby so guests don’t have to wander far, and couples can get a huge variety of portraits without having to disappear for hours. The outdoor ceremony space is also a gorgeous, alternative for the 'I dos.' surrounded by hills & countryside. One of my favorite features has to be the wildflower meadow, it offers such stunning views of the South Downs and makes the perfect spot for golden hour portraits and it's also really close to the venue. The family-run atmosphere is also a huge draw, whether you’re a guest or a supplier, you’re made to feel like part of the family. The organisation is second to none and weddings here always run completely seamlessly. I wholeheartedly recommend Upwaltham Barns for a beautiful, effortless, and heartfelt wedding day.I absolutely love photographing weddings at Upwaltham Barns!

As a wedding photographer I always love working at Upwaltham Barns. It always looks incredible in every season throughout the year. The grounds are beautiful, the flowers are always stunning and there’s no shortage of great backdrops. The food is so good, especially those summer BBQ's.

The level of care they give their couples is amazing, and they’re always incredibly welcoming and thoughtful towards suppliers too..
