If you’ve been dreaming of the laid back luxury of a festival style wedding, you are in luck! Surrounded by picturesque countryside and with our brand new bells tents pitched up on our wildflower meadow, our West Sussex wedding venue is the perfect location to channel gorgeous festival wedding vibes.
Our Brand New Luxury Bell Tents
New for 2024, we are over the moon to introduce our six beautiful new bell tents! Equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay, they are the perfect, authentic addition to a festival wedding day theme.
Each of the six luxury tents sleeps two people, meaning we can now accommodate up to twelve of your loved ones on the night of your wedding! Complete with lighting and charging points as well as double beds with Egyptian cotton bedding, every guest staying will also receive a delicious breakfast hamper created by our talented Roots catering team.
Available from May to September, the tents are set to the backdrop of our pretty wildflower meadow so also make a stunning spot for sun-drenched, festival inspired photographs on your big day.
Festival Wedding Styling
From a starry canopy of fairy lights lighting your way on the dance floor, to the bohemian charm of pampas grass and macramé. Our styling services make creating your perfect wedding day décor a breeze. Our knowledgeable team has devised a collection of carefully considered styling options to suit all tastes and act as the perfect base to your own personal touches. From our Wild & Green option, filled with fragrant herbs and greenery, to Boho Blush and our Fairy Light and Romantic Drape options, click here to take a look at our full range of options.
Dreamy Ceremony Spaces
If tying the knot under the big beautiful sky is on your bucket list, we have the dreamiest spot for you. The Secret Garden outdoor ceremony space featured a pretty wooden pergola set at the end of an elegant aisle with beautifully landscaped flower beds – the perfect location for festival inspired nuptials.
If an indoor ceremony is more your style, our Dairy Barn is a stunning backdrop for your vows. Complete with stunning new panelling and a sweeping aisle lined with sweet chestnut benches, this beautiful space provides a neutral backdrop for your choice of wedding day styling.
Festival Sounds
You can’t have a festival themed wedding without some fantastic music! Our large Collecting Yard and courtyard is a fantastic place to enjoy some alfresco music during your reception drinks – with the benefit of added shelter should the weather throw a curveball. Over the years, couples have enjoyed everything from steel drums to a Spanish quartet, acoustic guitar or a vintage serenade, add some Roots cocktails, a G&T with a twist or our Southend Lager and you have the perfect recipe for festival chill.
When it’s time to party, our spacious Threshing Barn is the perfect setting. With a great stage area and plenty of space to bust some moves, guests will be transported to the fields of Latitude, Reading or Glastonbury for a party they won’t forget.
Festival Themed Wedding Food
You can’t have a festival style wedding without a mouth-watering menu! Our Roots team of chefs have created a range of delicious feasts ideal for this style of wedding day. From scrumptious street food, to perfect pizzas and sharing platters, below are some of our top festival foodie picks…
