highly recommend this beautiful location

We were the first wedding at the Great Thatched Barn and had the most wonderful day, our guests have not stopped raving about the beautiful venue. It is a rustic barn with modern touches and we were able to add our own decor. The private outside space was invaluable and we were lucky to have a sunny day. The venue work solely with Circa who were outstanding, in particular the events manager Nick. We highly recommend this beautiful location for weddings.

gorgeous venue that is historic in its bones

We had our amazing wedding at Falmer Court this summer,it is truly a gorgeous venue that is historic in its bones but contemporary in its decor.The owners have fantastic taste,& although this was their first summer of weddings, they could not have been more reasonable and accommodating.The location is also amazing - you are in the gorgeous countryside in the South Downs National Park, but only a short taxi ride to Brighton. We've no doubt the venue will have countless incredible weddings to come

we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful setting

We had the most wonderful of wedding receptions at The Great Thatched Barn at Falmer Court in June 2023. Having got married in the local church, we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful setting for our reception. Fran & Lydia were kind, helpful & accommodating and made us feel unbelievably special. The barn itself is beyond stunning, the outside areas with lawn games suited our child-friendly day like no other, and the warmth of the whole team is unmatched. Continued below...
