Fitzleroi Barn

Fitzleroi Barn is a historic timber-framed barn on farmland at Fittleworth, near Pulborough in West Sussex, with views towards the South Downs. The venue is hired exclusively for two days, and it offers ceremony spaces indoors and out, from the Main Barn and the Long Room to a rose-lined courtyard and an open meadow.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Two days of exclusive hire, covering the day before, the wedding day and the day after, give you the space to set up at your own pace. Celebrant-led and humanist ceremonies are welcome alongside legal ones, so you can write the ceremony you want. You choose your caterer from a network of preferred suppliers, and there is no corkage, which keeps the day personal and in your hands.

Ceremonies

The barn is licensed for marriage. The Main Barn, with its original beams, holds ceremonies for up to around 130 guests. The light-filled Long Room suits smaller ceremonies of up to 70. Outside, you can marry in the rose-lined Courtyard by the barn doors or in the Meadow with views of the Downs.

Receptions and food

The barn seats around 120 for a meal and takes about 180 for a standing evening party. Food comes from a recommended network of caterers, and other caterers may be considered with the venue's approval. The bar is run by a preferred supplier, there is no corkage charge, and the bar can stay open until 11.45pm.

Staying

The Hayloft is a renovated maisonette on site that sleeps two. It gives you somewhere to get ready with hair and make-up on the morning, and somewhere to stay after the party.
