Stansted House rests amidst nearly two thousand acres of the South Downs National Park. Its grounds feature sweeping views of open countryside and ancient woodland, offering a breathtaking backdrop for any celebration. This historic estate, once home to the Earls of Bessborough, provides an atmosphere of timeless beauty and elegance.
The venue offers a truly personal touch for wedding ceremonies, with options like the private chapel featuring a blue vaulted ceiling and stained glass or the lavishly appointed Music Room. Whether an intimate or grand affair, couples can exchange vows surrounded by historic elegance.
From the historic grandeur of the Blue Drawing Room, ideal for formal wedding breakfasts, to the expansive south-facing lawns, Stansted House accommodates both intimate and large celebrations. Guests can dine and dance late into the night under the open sky, creating lasting memories in a quintessentially English setting.
The venue’s classical Italian-style, west-facing main entrance serves as a striking backdrop for photographs and is an ideal spot to toast the occasion as the sun sets over the estate’s cricket pitch.
For larger gatherings or show-stopping parties, couples can take full advantage of the expansive lawns and the unique surroundings of Stansted House. The experienced team is ready to assist in creating an unforgettable experience for every couple.
