The Setting
Bury Manor Barn is one of the finest wedding venues in Sussex and can be found at the end of a quiet village lane, on the banks of the River Arun. It enjoys panoramic views of the valley.
A stunning Tudor barn, set in the picturesque rural village of Bury, near Pulborough in the heart of the South Downs National Park. The barn and its idyllic surroundings are in the grounds of Dorset House School – one of the oldest prep schools in the country.
Steeped in history, records of the Manor date back to the Domesday Book. Bury Manor has had many incarnations – from a monastic building in the 12th century to a traditional manor house and a popular Edwardian House party retreat from London. This is an incredibly individual and special venue.
Church, Civil or Humanist ceremonies can be held in this unique setting.
In addition to its stunning riverside setting and amazing views, the Bury Manor Barn site includes several distinct areas including:
- An amphitheatre with lighting for extending the time guests can spend outside
- A Walled Garden – a peaceful space with shady areas for hot days. This space is perfect for guests to congregate and allow effective group shots
- A covered fabulous Champagne reception area with elevated views of Amberley Castle and the South Downs
- A Woodland area with a wonderful avenue of beech trees – perfect for photographs
- A magical pond and jetty with a weeping willow tree overhead has been used many times in wedding photos
The Vibe
At Bury Manor Barn, there is the freedom to decorate to your chosen theme; whether that be traditional wedding, a rustic affair or a day bursting with colour. The barn has retained its original wooden beams which you are free to dress to add to the overall look. There is a superb `state of the art’ LED lighting system in place for you to use too.
Bury Manor Barn is a venue for all seasons – each with distinct appeal.
Spring Weddings
Two perfect magnolia trees frame the entrance to Bury Manor Barn and the grounds look perfect in the spring sunshine. The log fire in the inner barn is of course available if the weather is chilly.
Summer Weddings
In the warmer months Civil and Humanist ceremonies can take place in their wonderful amphitheatre, where guests can take a seat in the sun with the river Arun, Amberley Castle and the South Downs before them. The huge door on the side of the barn looks south towards the pond with further expansive views.
