historic Sussex barn
breathtaking views
Welcome to Grittenham - a Grade II listed Sussex barn, set in stunning gardens complete with lake, orchard and woodland - all with breathtaking views over glorious countryside and to the South Downs.
Grittenham is set near Petworth in the heart of West Sussex South Downs National Park. The barn, farmhouse and outbuildings form a historic site, that was mentioned in the Domesday Book. All have been carefully and immaculately restored.
We are a family run venue, and operate a ‘one wedding per weekend’ policy, to ensure you are able to enjoy your big day to the full. Grittenham Barn is licensed for inside and outside ceremonies, or you can choose to get married at one of the beautiful local country churches.
You can find information on weddings at Grittenham, prices, lists of recommended suppliers and a large gallery of images for inspiration, all here on the site; but do get in touch to find out more about hosting your wedding or special occasion at our wonderful barn venue, or to arrange a viewing.

“We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Grittenham and couldn’t have wished for a better day. The barn is such a beautiful setting and we loved spending Friday setting up and decorating ready for Saturday.”

Our historic Sussex Barn has been carefully and thoughtfully renovated. It features a stunning central fireplace, vaulted ceiling and traditional iron chandeliers, which look incredible adorned with flowers. The space is beautiful but flexible; with lighting, flowers, and candles, you can easily create the mood you want for your wedding - be it elegant, relaxed and romantic, or dramatic.
The barn seats 120 people comfortably or 200 standing. Tables, chairs and lighting are included in the hire price. A lovely, traditional canvas marquee is also available to hire; this was made specifically for the grass area next to the courtyard, and works brilliantly for reception drinks, music, or even as a chill-out area.

Grittenham Barn is set among 7 acres of stunning gardens.
Admire the views of the South Downs and neighbouring vineyard, visit our donkeys and pigs, or watch the ducks paddling on the lake. The opportunities for stunning wedding photographs are endless!
