Every wedding is different, and we are here to make sure yours feels uniquely yours.

🏛️ What is the difference between the Exclusive and South Downs wedding packages?

Both packages give you a fully hosted Tottington Manor wedding, but they are designed for different styles of celebration.

🏛️ The Exclusive Package

Our most comprehensive wedding experience, designed to feel like your own private country house wedding weekend. It includes:

  • Two-day exclusive hire of Tottington Manor
  • All 12 guest bedrooms for two nights
  • A dedicated private AA Rosette Chef
  • Personal concierge service
  • Arrival reception
  • Chef's tasting menu experience
  • Your wedding day celebration
  • Farewell brunch the morning after your wedding
  • Late departure

🌿 The South Downs Package

A full-day wedding celebration centred around the South Downs Suite, private garden and dedicated bar. It includes:

  • Exclusive use of the South Downs Suite and wedding facilities on your wedding day
  • A Getting Ready Suite the night before your wedding
  • Your chosen Honeymoon Suite on the wedding night
  • The opportunity for guests to reserve hotel bedrooms overnight
  • A complete wedding day without requiring a two-night exclusive hire

If you want the feeling of a private country house weekend with the whole Manor to yourselves, the Exclusive Package is the natural choice. If you want a beautifully hosted wedding day with dedicated wedding spaces and accommodation available for guests, the South Downs Package offers greater flexibility.

🍽️ We've dined in TERRA Restaurant. Is the wedding food the same quality?

Absolutely. Your wedding food is created by the same chef team responsible for the dining experience in TERRA Restaurant, with the same focus on quality, creativity and locally sourced ingredients.

Wedding dishes are adapted and plated so that we can serve a full wedding party smoothly at the same time, but the philosophy remains the same: excellent ingredients, thoughtful presentation and memorable flavours.

From canapés and wedding breakfasts to tasting menus and evening food, our culinary team wants the food to be remembered as part of the celebration rather than simply something served in the middle of it.

The same chefs, the same passion and the same commitment to exceptional food — just on a bigger stage. 🍽️✨

🥂 Can our family stay the night before and have a private meal together?

Yes. Many couples choose to extend the celebration by welcoming close family and friends to Tottington Manor on the evening before the wedding.

Your family can reserve hotel bedrooms, subject to availability, so everyone can settle in and wake up together on the wedding morning. For a more personal pre-wedding gathering, TERRA Restaurant has private dining spaces suitable for family meals and celebrations of around 8 to 24 guests.

Whether you are planning a relaxed supper, a special tasting menu or simply an opportunity for both families to spend time together before the big day, our Weddings Team can help arrange the accommodation and dining for you.

For many couples, that relaxed meal with their closest family and friends becomes one of the loveliest parts of the whole wedding experience.

✈️ We have guests travelling from overseas. How close is Tottington Manor to an airport?

Tottington Manor is well placed for guests travelling from both the UK and overseas.

  • ✈️ London Gatwick Airport: approximately 25 minutes by car
  • ✈️ London Heathrow Airport: approximately 1 hour by car
  • 🚆 Hassocks Railway Station: approximately 15 minutes by taxi, with direct services to London Victoria
  • 🚖 Hassocks station has a taxi rank for onward travel to Tottington Manor

Whether your guests are travelling from London, Europe or further afield, you can enjoy a South Downs countryside setting without making the journey unnecessarily complicated.

🥂 Is the Celebration Package available at weekends?

Our Celebration Package is normally available Monday to Thursday, making it a great-value option for couples considering a midweek wedding.

If you would prefer a weekend, we also offer a Twilight Wedding Package on selected Sundays, with a later start and an evening-led celebration.

It is always worth speaking with our Weddings Team, particularly if you are looking for a wedding in the next few months. Occasionally dates become available at shorter notice and we may be able to offer additional flexibility around packages and dates.

Twilight Weddings in the South Downs

A Twilight Wedding in the South Downs

A twilight wedding changes the rhythm of the day rather than simply starting it later. With getting ready from 12pm and your ceremony from 3pm, there is more time to enjoy the morning and move naturally from your ceremony into drinks, photographs, dinner and the evening celebration.

At Tottington Manor, that later timetable works particularly well with our South Downs setting. Your ceremony and drinks reception take place as the afternoon develops, the countryside provides a changing backdrop for photographs, and the celebration flows into your wedding breakfast, speeches, DJ and dancing without a long gap.

Twilight Weddings are available on Sundays and include ceremony space, private garden and bar, canapés and sparkling drinks, wedding breakfast, evening food, entertainment and a Honeymoon Suite. Resident family and friends can stay overnight and meet again for breakfast the following morning.

Tottington Manor sits at the foot of the South Downs National Park within easy reach of Brighton, Worthing, the A23, A27, Gatwick and Hassocks railway station.

All the staff were so attentive, making us feel like royalty. An absolute perfect day in the perfect setting. Best day of my life"

testimonials

Liam & Lucy

"We had our wedding at Tottington and the day ran absolutely seamlessly. The food was excellent, staff members were extremely friendly and accommodating, and on hand to help with everything! We decided with little notice to have the ceremony outside, which Cat and her team organised brilliantly. We felt incredibly calm on the day, and knew we were in extremely capable hands! In the lead up to the wedding, Cat was brilliant- extremely organised, helpful and was in contact with our suppliers to make sure everything was in place for our day. Thank you so much!"
