Pelham House

Pelham House is a beautifully restored 16th-century townhouse that blends Georgian elegance with modern style. This exclusive-use wedding venue is exclusively yours for the day, every characterful room and peaceful garden, framed by the East Sussex countryside and clifftops. From your first visit to the final wave goodbye, their dedicated team is by your side to ensure your day is every bit as seamless and special as you imagined.

Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate indoor ceremony or something al fresco, Pelham House offers both charm and choice. The Goring Room is filled with period details and natural light, its bay windows overlooking views of the gardens. For those drawn to the outdoors, the Gazebo offers a romantic setting under open skies, while providing complete privacy. Ahead of the celebrations, The Dressing Room is a luxurious haven where you can prepare, spend quality time with loved ones, and catch a glimpse of arriving guests, whilst The Campion is a space where your partner can relax in private and prepare for the day ahead.

Celebrate in style in The Blencowe Room, where soaring marble pillars, rich wood panelling and sparkling feature lighting create an unforgettable backdrop for your wedding breakfast. There’s plenty of room for dining, speeches, and dancing the night away. With exclusive use of the house and gardens, your day flows effortlessly from one moment to the next.

After the celebration winds down, the romantic Pelham Suite is a haven of calm. With its elegant bedroom, freestanding bath, and private lounge, it’s the perfect place to reflect and unwind. Your guests are equally well looked after, with 28 beautifully appointed rooms just steps from the party, allowing everyone to relax and truly enjoy the occasion.

At Pelham House, food and drink are crafted with care and character. From relaxed sharing boards to wood-fired pizzas, vibrant street food or refined plated menus, the choice is entirely yours. Their chefs will collaborate with you to design a menu that reflects your tastes and your story, while the bar offers expertly crafted cocktails, curated wines and seasonal drinks that bring flair to every toast. As an added wedding planning bonus, you can attend one of their Chef’s Table events, where you can sample the flavours, meet the team, and get a taste of the warm, attentive service that defines every wedding at Pelham House.

Pelham House is committed to creating beautiful celebrations with a lighter footprint. They source locally where possible, minimise waste, and work with suppliers who share their sustainable ethos so that you can celebrate with peace of mind.

Lewes is a town full of character, charm and culture, perfect for couples and guests alike to explore. Its cobbled streets, antique stores, independent shops and historic landmarks offer plenty to enjoy before or after the big day, with the South Downs and coast right on the doorstep.

Pelham House is easy to reach, with its town centre location that’s just a few minutes’ walk from Lewes station and fantastic transport links to Brighton, London and beyond. Despite its accessibility, the venue feels like a true escape, private, picturesque and ready to welcome you for a day like no other.
