Selden Barns, at Selden Farm, is set within over 50 acres of the South Downs National Park; an idyllic rural retreat for your wedding day. This exclusive-use venue features beautiful, characterful barns, with Selden Farmhouse at the venues heart; beautifully kept lawns and a terrace overlooking open farmland and forests. Selden Barns also benefits from nine Guest Bedrooms, accommodating up to 24 wedding guests, including our beautiful Newlywed Suite. Our bride and grooms and guests enjoy breakfast served the following day in the Farmhouse kitchen. Wedding ceremonies are licensed for up to 100 guests in the stunning Ceremony Barn; adjoining the Farmhouse with original oak beams, fireplace and exposed brickwork. Fairy lights entwine the beams overhead whilst you take your wedding vows beneath the beautiful chandeliers. Alternatively opt for the outside ceremony lawn with stunning views. Enjoy pre-reception drinks and canapes on one of our lawns within the walled gardens, or terraces adjoining the Grand Barn; the location for your wedding breakfast and evening reception. With capacity to seat up to 200 guests for your wedding breakfast and up to 250 for your evening reception, this versatile, flexible wedding space is second to none. With beautiful ivory pleated drapes, swags and tails, vintage chandeliers and a fairy light ceiling, you and your guests will enjoy grandeur during your wedding day. For your evening wedding reception, party the night away on the raised dancefloor with provision for a DJ or band, plus a fully stocked bar located close by. For those warm, summer nights, step off the dancefloor outside to the beautiful terrace and lawns to enjoy a drink and look up at the stars.
