About Us
Crabapple Barn is set on three beautiful acres, amongst apple trees, bramble-hedged fields, an old croquet lawn and pretty quarter-acre lake. You and your guests look onto an uninterrupted view that seems to encompass the entire South Downs - all the way down to the sea. We believe it is one of the finest views in Sussex! Every corner is a backdrop for stunning photographs, and we are surrounded by woodlands and fields.
Our quirky, fully restored Sussex Oak Barn is ideal for WEDDINGS, VINTAGE AFTERNOON TEA PARTIES and our unique BoHo HEN PARTY PICNICS with a FLOWER CROWN WORKSHOP.
With room for up to 100 seated guests, a vibey industrial style Bar, Vintage Caravan in the orchard and a swing over the water, it's ideal for country style weddings and all life's special occasions.
As we only host one event on any given date, and only six weddings a year, you have our complete attention and the sole use of the entire venue for any booking. We give generous access times either side of your event. Check out our dedicated Events and FAQs pages for more details, and take a peak at some of the celebrations we've already loved being part of!
