About Farbridge

Once an old dairy, Farbridge is a wedding venue in the heart of the South Downs National Park which has been beautifully restored to provide an idyllic location for your special day. With seven en-suite rooms on site, plus a private suite for the happy couple, guests don't have to worry about travelling once the ceremony is done.

For your ceremony, there are two different areas to choose from. Why not say 'I do' in the Meadow Barn? This option boasts a rustic yet chic charm that's bursting with natural light and is licensed for civil ceremonies. Let the character of the barn speak for itself or work your magic and use the space as a blank canvas to design in any way you want. Dreaming of an al fresco ceremony. Here, you have the option to say your vows in the courtyard against the sprawling backdrop of the South Downs.

A spanning lawn is excellent for those larger group shots with a secret garden tucked away for those first photos as a married couple. Access to these come as part of the package with a number of more unique, discoverable spots across the venue that can serve as dramatic settings for your photos - memories to be treasured for years to come.

As far as the food goes, you’ll get the chance to meet with the head chef and help to design your own bespoke menu. Plus, there’s no corkage fee for bringing your own drinks if you’re wanting to keep the costs down a little bit. The experienced team at Farbridge endeavour to make the day special, and support you every step of the way in the creation of your dream wedding.

Testimonials For Farbridge

We would highly recommend FarbridgeJANUARY, 2025

Everyone has been raving about the wedding and we have to say the organisation was absolutely superb. What a treat to have 2 Event Managers on the day - both so accommodating! Thank you to Eleanor for accommodating the "photo tunnel wall" that was born out of having a lot to drink and a "bright idea". Thank you Imogen for keeping me calm as I got into the car, I just remember saying "I NEED DIRECTING" - but you gave me a reassuring smile as we left and that helped me to calm down!  Wishing you both well - we are so sad it's over but when Jackson has some images I'll pop them over. He says he has thousands to work through, so as soon as I have them I'll let you know for sure as he had his drone out!  We would highly recommend Farbridge and every time we drive past you guys we will have a fantastic memory to hold on to. Please also thank Julie. What an absolute treasure she is.

We wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day absolutely incredible. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Your exceptional service and attention to detail truly made the day seamless and stress-free. Our guests are still raving about how wonderful everything was—the stunning venue and the delicious food! You helped make our day so remarkable, and we can’t thank you enough for all the hard work and care you put into ensuring it was perfect. We’re already joking about wanting to do it all over again because the experience was so magical. Thank you once again for helping us create memories we’ll treasure forever and for making our wedding day so incredibly special.

Such a stunning location!NOVEMBER, 2024

I was lucky enough to photograph a wedding at Farbridge in November & this venue is STUNNING!! The staff were absolutely incredible and were so helpful with anything I needed as well as any messages passed on from the couple or guests! The food was also amazing!! As a supplier that suffers with an allergy, it can sometimes become difficult. However, this venue went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable! Farbridge also has so many incredible photo opportunities so if you are a couple looking to get married here - you are definitely making a good choice!! Such a stunning location!
