Why choose petworth for your wedding?

Nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, Petworth offers a romantic, picture-perfect setting for your wedding day. This historic West Sussex market town is steeped in Georgian charm, with cobbled streets, boutique shops, and rolling countryside views. Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, Petworth’s tranquil surroundings and timeless character make it an unforgettable place to say “I do.”

When it comes to wedding venues, Petworth delivers a variety of beautiful options. The stylish Petworth Places group includes The Angel Inn, E. Street Bar & Grill, and Ryde House—each offering boutique settings ideal for small to mid-size weddings. From elegant private dining rooms with chandeliers and original fireplaces to sun-drenched courtyards framed in wisteria, these venues blend heritage with contemporary charm. They're also known for offering personalised service and exceptional catering, making them a top choice for couples who want a more intimate, curated experience.

Just outside of town, you’ll find countryside gems like Grittenham Barn, a stunning 17th-century barn set among gardens, meadows, and a tranquil lake—perfect for a rustic-chic wedding weekend. Alternatively, Southdowns Manor, only a short drive away, offers exclusive use of a luxurious country house with sweeping views and bespoke wedding packages. Whether you're dreaming of a stylish town centre celebration or a rural escape surrounded by nature, Petworth offers the best of both worlds.
