The Setting
Nestled at the foot of the South Downs and the famous Firle Beacon, private estate Firle Place, set in its own extensive, glorious grounds, is three miles from Lewes and nine from Brighton. There are trains directly from Brighton and London into both the nearby stations of Glynde and Lewes.
The Vibe
Firle Place is a beautiful private estate and historic house that offers a unique venue for on-site wedding receptions and civil ceremonies that can be held in a number of locations. Choose from the stunning courtyard, which is perfect for an al-fresco style service or The Great Hall, a historic room with an impressive Van Dyke painting, a huge fireplace and Tudor stone floors.
For the wedding reception, the Georgian riding school and croquet lawns, a majestic, listed building, and adjacent grounds are a wonderful space that has it all. Complete with a spectacular fairy-lit ceiling with exposed oak beams, cascading fairy light wall, soft white drapes, bar structure and blackboard, expansive grounds and croquet lawn and a quintessentially English lakeside setting. There is also a bohemian-feeling 18th-century herb garden and orchard, which is perfect for drinks and photographs.
