Laughton Barns

Laughton Barns, located in the heart of the Sussex South Downs, offers a truly romantic setting for country weddings. The venue is set within 84 acres of picturesque landscape with two idyllic lakes, providing couples with exclusive use for the weekend. A dedicated wedding coordinator is on hand to help plan every detail, ensuring a memorable experience. The stunning Apple Barn is licensed for ceremonies, allowing for both indoor and outdoor options, with a marquee available in case of inclement weather.

Following the ceremony, guests can make the most of the expansive grounds with garden games, bouncy castles, or simply enjoy drinks on the Crown Barn terrace under willow trees. The lakes and surrounding countryside create beautiful backdrops for photographs, while the hand-built Crown Barn accommodates up to 200 guests for the wedding breakfast and 250 in the evening. The barn’s rustic features, such as exposed beams and gothic-style chandeliers, create a welcoming and flexible space. One entire side of the barn can open up to let in the outdoors.

Laughton Barns provides indoor toilets, a hard-standing dancefloor, and bar facilities with low sofas and tables for guest comfort. The Resident DJ is included from 7pm–11:30pm, and on-site catering is handled by the acclaimed Executive Chef, Justin Gillam, offering everything from formal meals to street food. The venue is pet friendly and allows firepits, sparklers, and candles. Overnight parking is available for 200 cars. Only one wedding is held each week, ensuring a truly exclusive experience. Bands after 6pm are not permitted.
