Alfriston Gardens Full Description
The Woodland Barn will provide an extension to the historic Century Barn, providing a modern twist to a traditional building. This will offer a brilliant opportunity for you to make the most of ‘something old and something new’ as we merge historic and contemporary buildings together. A stunning mezzanine viewing area, fitted with vintage theatre seats, provides the opportunity for spectacular wedding photography and adding a level of theatrical sophistication to your day. Woodland Barn enables weddings all year round, seating up to 155 guests. Lavender Lodge is our new and exclusive honeymoon cottage; a modern one bedroom house which is self-contained and provides the privacy and a relaxing atmosphere for your wedding party to get ready. Oak Lodge is versatile and suited to more intimate weddings. It's where breakfast is served and houses five guest rooms plus our alternative honeymoon suite. We also offer nine ensuite Shepherd Huts which create a luxurious glamping environment for those of your guests looking to get closer to the natural elements of Alfriston Gardens. Alternative accommodation is available in our modern Vine Lodge. The Vine has been designed specifically for Alfriston Gardens to melt into the East Sussex landscape and make the most of the Downs as a backdrop. Combining contemporary top-of-the-range features with nature through a living roof, it provides ten exclusive guest rooms.

The exact wedding we wanted!

November 2023 and it was incredible! Janie was super attentive and helpful throughout our planning process, and was very flexible in making it the exact wedding we wanted. On the day, she oversaw everything perfectly. The venue was perfect for a large winter wedding as there was plenty of indoor space, but we were lucky enough to enjoy the beautiful gardens too as it was dry. The accommodation was super premium and it was so nice having so many of our friends and family to stay overnight.

It was the most perfect day!

Got married here recently and it was the most perfect day! Renovated venue is gorgeous, it’s feels like it’s own village as soon as you arrive there. The team are exceptionally hard working and helpful. Janie couldn’t have been more helpful and Dean was great too. Wouldn’t have been the same without them. Highly recommend!

We fell in love with the place...

We were the first couple to get married at Alfriston Gardens since the re-brand - they delivered on everything promised. Janie, the events manager, was amazing at keeping us updated, allowed us to visit as many times as we wanted and really looked after us on the day. The barns, lodges, huts and hotel rooms are all done to a high spec and the garden is bursting with wild flowers. We loved the fact that all our guests could stay over at the venue. We would definitely recommend Alfriston Gardens!
