Long Furlong Barn is deeply entwined with the history of the Jenkin family, now in its 4th generation, who have been stewards of the surrounding countryside since 1912. Originally built in 1880, Long Furlong Barn echoes the architectural style of a medieval Tithe Barn, its unique design earning recognition as a grade 2 listed building by English Heritage. Once a crucial space for threshing corn by hand, The Granary witnessed the evolution of agricultural practices into the 19th century. Its expansive doors, a nod to the bygone era, stand as a testament to the laborious process of separating grain from straw.
Long Furlong Barn, with its architectural charm and agricultural significance, narrates a story that extends beyond the confines of time, connecting generations through their enduring commitment to the land, making it perfect for a fairytale wedding. Embracing its new identity as a captivating Sussex venue, Long Furlong Barn has evolved into the ideal setting for picture perfect weddings. Having opened its doors to over 25,000 guests, the barn has become a hub for a myriad of events and memorable experiences within the local community.
New in 2023, a touch of luxury graced couples in the enchanting courtyard, where a splendid all-weather parasol will provide shelter on both sunny days and rainy afternoons. Enhancing the outdoor experience, a brand new bar in the lawn area invites you and your guests to indulge in sunset watching and sipping on exquisite cocktails. Plus, there has been the introduction of an extra bridal suite, as part of Long Furlong Barn’s new 'Exclusively Yours’ package. If you're hosting a smaller wedding on a budget, why not opt for one of the venue's midweek wedding packages, which may be more affordable but never compromise on beauty.
In the historic Granary Barn, there is seating for up to 130 guests for a sit down meal, and 200 standing guests in the evening, making it a flexible venue for both small and large weddings.
