The Museum as a Wedding Venue
Located within the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, this picturesque 40 acre site is a venue like no other. The Museum’s grounds offer an atmosphere of quiet tranquillity and are peppered with fascinating historic buildings, woodland areas, grazing farm animals and a beautiful mill pond. This authentic setting combined with limited availability makes for a unique and exclusive wedding venue, perfect for couples after something a little different.
Downland Gridshell
The first building of its kind to be built in the UK, the Gridshell is a unique and exquisite setting for both civil ceremonies and receptions of up to 180 people.
Crawley Hall
Situated in the heart of the Museum’s medieval market square and surrounded by cobbled paths and historic buildings, this charming timber-framed barn is an ideal choice for more intimate wedding celebrations.
Greenways Field
The Greenways Field is a completely blank canvas for those looking for a marquee-style wedding. Nestled in amongst the sublime countryside setting with the Museum in the backdrop, it offers an idyllic and tranquil setting for your celebrations.
