ROMANTIC EVENING WEDDING VENUE - CISSBURY BARNS

For couples dreaming of a relaxed, romantic wedding with a little less formality, a twilight wedding at Cissbury offers a beautiful way to celebrate. Set high on the South Downs in the heart of West Sussex, the Cissbury Estate provides a stunning countryside setting for a late-afternoon ceremony followed by an unforgettable evening with family and friends.

​

As the afternoon gives way to evening, the estate takes on a different atmosphere. Soft golden light falls across the surrounding countryside, the gardens and courtyards become inviting spaces for drinks and conversation, and the beautifully restored barns provide a warm and welcoming setting for your celebrations.

Your twilight wedding, your way

Twilight weddings offer the freedom to focus on the parts of your wedding day that matter most to you. With ceremonies available at 4pm or 5pm, you can exchange your vows in the romantic surroundings of the East Barn or outdoors in The Glade, before moving seamlessly into an evening of food, music and dancing.

​

The West Barn, with its chandelier, canopy of fairy lights and atmospheric lighting, creates a wonderful setting for an evening wedding reception. Outside, the stretch tent, walled gardens and courtyard offer additional spaces for guests to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

​

Whether you're planning a smaller, more intimate celebration or a lively evening party, a twilight wedding at Cissbury brings together the charm of a countryside wedding venue with the relaxed atmosphere of an evening celebration.

Celebrate under the stars

One of the most beautiful things about a twilight wedding in the South Downs is the changing light. From golden hour photographs across the estate to the gentle glow of fairy lights as evening falls, there are countless opportunities to capture special moments.

​

The brick and flint walled gardens surrounding the barns are particularly beautiful as dusk settles. Soft lighting illuminates the historic walls, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere, while the sheltered courtyards and garden seating provide inviting spaces for guests to gather, enjoy a drink and relax beneath the evening sky.

​

With exclusive use of the barns and grounds, and a dedicated Event Manager to ensure everything runs smoothly, you can enjoy every moment of your wedding evening surrounded by the people you love.
