Nestled down a winding, country lane lies The Secret Barn. Surrounded by open farmland with far reaching views of the South Downs, this authentically, rustic hideaway has beams and original flooring and is not a “done up” wedding barn. We love it all the more for it’s cracks and creaks.
If you are looking for a formal wedding-y venue then The Secret Barn is probably not it. If, however, you are looking for something more relaxed and properly rustic, well they have that in spades!
There is an orchard perfect for a ‘Darling Buds Of May’ style ceremony, old beams crying out for fairy lights, floorboards begging to be danced on and blankets strewn over the farmer’s haybales for toasting marshmallows on the fire pit. You get the idea.
Afterwards, you and your happy campers can trip trap over the rickety bridge to your tents in the paddock to sleep under the stars.
The barn has good access and disabled loos are available to hire if necessary. Simply speak with the team about your requirements.
Thank you so much for creating such masterpieces! The flowers were absolutely beautiful! The wedding would have been incomplete and significantly less stylish without your efforts.
Where to begin? We fell in love with the barn and it’s incredible South Downs setting straight away. Hannah and the team were fantastic in the build-up, from being really responsive to our various emails, to helping us put our own special stamp on the Big Day. They completely got what we wanted and it was so reassuring to know we were in safe hands. It was fab being able to get into the barn a few days before the wedding and the team couldn’t have been more helpful. The day itself totally surpassed all expectations. We’ll never forget walking into the barn, seeing the stunning flowers, including the most gorgeous flower hoop, as the afternoon sun streamed in and we welcomed our awestruck guests. Everyone waxed lyrical about the barn, beautiful cake and amazing food, which was the best we’ve ever had at a wedding (although we would say that!). We can’t thank Hannah and the team enough – it’s a day we’ll never forget and we wish we could do it again!
We knew when we stumbled across The Secret Barn that we’d found something special. If you are looking for a beautiful, rustic, non-weddingy wedding venue then this is it. No packages, chair sashes or conveyor belt weddings – just the gorgeous barn to make your own.
The setting is absolutely stunning and we feel incredibly lucky that we got to celebrate our wedding there. The planning is relaxed and easy. Hannah is super chilled, which instantly put us at ease. Any questions or worries we had we answered and we felt we were in safe hands throughout. The Petal and Feast Team are all bloody lovely, and definitely know there stuff, they were brilliant in the lead up and on the day, which meant zero stress for us.
The day itself was a dream. the food was delicious. The flowers were beautiful. The barn was perfect. We wouldn’t change a single thing… We had so many compliments, our friends and family still keep talking about it. We honestly can’t recommend it enough, if you are getting married, do it here!

Thank you so much for everything. From start to finish you have been amazing. The beautiful Secret Barn was the perfect setting. We loved our ceremony in the orchard under the gorgeous tree (anyone know what type of tree it is!?) and the barn looked absolutely stunning! The flowers were drop dead gorgeous, and everyone has said how amazing they were. The bouquets were even more beautiful than I had ever imagined. Thank you for taking my Pinterest and turning it into reality AND MORE! And the food… was completely delicious. Again, so many people have said how good it was. You are such a fantastic team and have made the whole process such a joy. I want to do the whole thing again, exactly the same. I wouldn’t change a thing. It was just perfect.
Petal & Feast are caterers, florists and run the Secret Barn in Steyning, West Sussex. The food was the best I have ever had at a wedding (big, inviting bowls of sharing salads, spit roast lamb, freshly baked breads, italian antipasti boards) all served by the P&F team (who are all delightful) – the type of dinner that feels like you’re in an Italian grandma’s house. They also have a vintage ice cream bike they serve home made ice cream from. The flowers were unbelievable and unique – an old ladder covered in foliage and peonies hung above the bar, and they covered vintage chandeliers in peonies and roses to hang from the ceiling. They were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, answering all of our queries and helping us to arrange the more obscure aspects of a DIY-ish wedding (like hiring disabled porta-loos). They are a small team, so we really got to know them throughout planning, and they run the order of the day for you as well. The barn itself is beautiful and hidden away in West Sussex, and not particularly well known. The best wedding team ever!
Well… what can we say? We fell in love with Petal & Feast, The Barn, just everything straight away and yesterday didn’t disappoint. We and all our guests were blown away by everything. You are all so lovely, the food was amazing and my flowers were beautiful! Thank you for helping make our wedding dreams a reality and we will cherish the memories forever. Thank you!
We wanted to say the biggest thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect. Everything from the food to the flowers and the absolute friendliness of you guys was amazing. We have had so many guests commenting on how stunning the the venue was and how fabulous the food and flowers were. We are so grateful to you all and would absolutely recommend you!
No there isn't. We can organise and run a pay bar for you or you are welcome to bring along your own drinks which we can serve out to your guests.
Yes, we are very happy to hold your hand throughout the planning process if you would like us to and can make recommendations of lovely suppliers or are happy to take a backseat if you would prefer that.
Yes! We are licensed for the legal wedding ceremony so you can do that on site in our beautiful old Sussex Barn, alternatively you can find a celebrant to conduct a personalised wedding blessing.
You have exclusive use of the site and we are by no means a wedding factory, only booking a very limited number of weddings each year so you will have access to the Barn to set up Thursday and Friday and clear up on the Sunday and Monday so lots of time to put your stamp on the venue.
Yes, the barn is set on a working farm so there are plenty of green open space where you could set up an outdoor marquee.
