West sussex events and wedding venue

The Great lawn at Naldretts Court, Wisborough Green, West Sussex, RH14

The Setting

Set in rolling countryside, adjacent to the South Downs National Park, and with spectacular panoramic views of the South Downs, the twelve-acre Great Lawn is the ideal private venue for those who want the freedom to plan a wedding or a celebration without space restrictions.

Large marquees and space for other attractions, such as fairground rides can be accommodated at this relatively remote and very private location. At twelve acres, surrounded by historic and beautiful woodland, it is one of the largest long-established lawns of its size in England. In addition to the Great Lawn and adjacent to it is the secluded Half Circle Lawn directly in front of Naldretts Court House.

The Vibe

Naldretts Court is a privately owned house with the family in residence who are keen to make your wedding or event as special as possible for you. The celebration should be all about you and reflect your style whether that’s festival, boho, sophisticated, relaxed or formal, the great lawn at Naldretts Court offers you a totally blank canvas with which to create your dream event.

The venue offers great flexibility and space that can be used in a variety of ways – you could have an outdoor blessing, a teepee marquee, a circus tent or a structured marquee – the choice really is yours. The space is entirely secluded with the rolling hills of the south downs paint a perfect backdrop for photographs and you can dance the night away under a canopy of stars – we have almost zero light pollution.

The woodland adjacent to the lawn is inhabited by deer, rabbits, geese, ducks and beautiful wild flowers.

Naldretts has a beautiful bluebell lane in historic oak woodland and ornamental gardens which are the perfect backdrop for photographs.
