Wonderland Festival Weddings

There’s a sense of discovery as you approach Wonderland. Hidden at the end of a private track in the Sussex countryside, this bohemian venue is surrounded by farmland and the South Downs. It feels like an artist’s retreat; secluded, atmospheric, and full of personality. Despite its tucked-away location, it’s only 20 minutes from Brighton and an hour from London, so your guests won’t have far to travel.

The venue was created by the founder of Glastonbury’s ‘Rabbit Hole’ stage, a playful, creative backdrop with music heritage at its core. Expect peacocks, unexpected details, and a few secrets to discover.

There’s a lake at the heart of the venue, perfect for a ceremony with a difference. You can say your vows beside the water, with the option of photos on the jetty or even in a rowing boat. It’s informal and full of character; a place that feels completely your own.

You’ll dine under canvas in a unique lined marquee with panoramic views. Afterwards, head to the secret barn for an after-party with serious atmosphere. It’s kitted out like a festival tent, complete with Funktion 1 PA system and space to dance until midnight.

The venue includes:

• A beautiful marquee with coir flooring and lighting
• Long or round tables and whitewashed Chiavari chairs
• A late-night party barn with Ibiza-quality sound system
• Outdoor festoon lighting for evening celebrations

On-site accommodation has been carefully selected for its style and comfort, accommodating up to 20 guests as part of the hire. Each option has its own unique look, from the wooden-beamed Lake House to the playful Tiny House, complete with a flamingo chandelier.

Included in the hire:

• The Annexe (sleeps 7-9)
• The Wendy House (sleeps 4-6)
• The Dome (sleeps 2)
• Airstream trailer (sleeps 2)
• Shepherd’s Hut (sleeps 2)

Additional options:

• Bell tents for extra guests, available at £225 (blank) or £380 (furnished)
• A Shower Shack is provided for those staying in bell tents

Wonderland offers spa treatments including massages, reflexology and group sound baths. These are available during your weekend stay and can be arranged in advance.

The hire runs from 2pm on Friday to midday on Sunday, giving plenty of time to settle in, celebrate, and unwind. The spa deck features a wood-fired hot tub and sauna, ideal for a relaxing start to the weekend.

You’re free to arrange catering as you like; there are no corkage fees, no restrictions, and no additional charges. Self-catering is welcomed, and there’s an outdoor pizza oven if you’d like to make your own. Wonderland can also recommend trusted local suppliers if you prefer to hire someone.

Brighton is just 20 minutes away, with London an hour by road or rail. Wonderland is easily accessible yet feels worlds apart once you arrive.
