Calling it The Secret Barn might feel like false advertising now as it’s a firm fave with our venue seekers, but this list wouldn’t be complete without it! Hidden down a winding country lane, surrounded by farmland and sweeping views of the South Downs, this is the barn for couples craving something properly rustic, cracks, creaks, and all. Don’t expect polished perfection here—just authentic charm in SPADES.
Looking for formal vibes? You’ll have to go elsewhere. But if you prefer fire pits, hay bales, wildflowers, and fairy lights strung from ancient beams, you’ve found your place! With orchard ceremonies, trestle table banquets, and stargazing by the fire, The Secret Barn is rural Sussex magic at its most wonderful. Plus, the team behind it all sounds SO fun; we’re half-tempted to join them ourselves! Exclusive use, zero conveyor-belt weddings, and a crew who clearly love what they do—we adore!
