Falmer Court

Falmer Court is a historic country estate in the Sussex South Downs, offering event organisers an atmospheric setting for weddings and a range of private and corporate occasions. At its heart is the Great Thatched Barn, a restored medieval building with exposed oak beams, a high vaulted roof and flexible space for different event layouts. It can host up to 200 guests for a seated event, with options to adapt the room for smaller gatherings.

The estate offers exclusive use for weddings, with indoor and outdoor ceremony settings. Couples can exchange vows in the barn or in the formal gardens, while the grounds provide space for drinks receptions and photographs. Wedding hire includes tables and chairs, lighting, a bar, a stretch tent with lounge seating, music facilities and support from a venue coordinator. The venue works with selected catering partners and can consider requests to bring in another caterer.

For other occasions, the barn can be arranged for dinners, conferences, receptions and parties. Its adaptable character suits both formal gatherings and more relaxed celebrations. Beyond events, Falmer Court also offers its barn, grounds and a dedicated photographic and film studio for shoots and filming, giving production teams a distinctive rural location close to Brighton and within reach of London.

Set within a historic estate with landscaped gardens and countryside surroundings, Falmer Court combines a distinctive heritage setting with practical facilities for event planning. Organisers can contact the team to discuss the occasion, guest numbers and preferred layout, then shape the booking around the needs of their event.
