Sussex Wedding Venue with Accommodation

Licensed for Weddings

A South Downs Wedding Venue in West Sussex with Accommodation

Tottington Manor is a countryside wedding venue in West Sussex, set at the foot of the South Downs National Park just 11 miles from Brighton and within easy reach of Worthing, Hove, Horsham and Burgess Hill.

With 12 boutique bedrooms, AA Rosette dining from the TERRA kitchen, exclusive-use wedding spaces and options for intimate weddings, full-day celebrations and two-day weddings, Tottington Manor is particularly suited to couples looking for a Sussex wedding venue with accommodation rather than asking guests to travel between separate ceremony, reception and hotel locations.

A Wedding That Feels Like You

Looking for Something a Little Different?

Not every couple dreams of the same kind of wedding. You might want to gather only the people who matter most around one beautiful table, or perhaps skip the traditional afternoon format altogether and head straight into an evening of food, drinks and celebration.

Alongside our main wedding packages, we’ve created two different ways to celebrate at Tottington Manor.

Intimate wedding celebration at Tottington Manor in West Sussex

30 to 50 Guests

Intimate Weddings

Small in numbers. Huge in meaning.

Celebrate with 30–50 of your favourite people in the South Downs, with all the atmosphere, food and care of a Tottington wedding on a more intimate scale.

Perfect for couples who would rather spend their day surrounded by their closest family and friends, sharing wonderful food, conversation and memories together.

Explore Intimate Weddings

Twilight wedding evening celebration and party at Tottington Manor in Sussex

Sunday Celebrations

Twilight Weddings

Less tradition. More party.

Start later, celebrate into the evening and create a wedding that feels relaxed from the very beginning. Our Sunday Twilight Weddings are perfect for couples who want the ceremony, the food, the drinks and the party — without following every convention of a traditional wedding day.

Say your vows, raise a glass in the South Downs and then let the evening unfold.

✨ Can we customise our wedding at Tottington Manor?

Absolutely. Our wedding packages are designed to make planning straightforward, but they are a starting point rather than a limitation. No two couples have exactly the same priorities, so our Weddings Team will work with you to personalise your celebration.

We can discuss:

Guest numbers
Food and drink preferences
Entertainment
Timings and running order
Styling and décor
Personal touches and special moments
Bespoke additions to enhance your day

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

Personal concierge service
Arrival reception
Chef's tasting menu experience
Your wedding day celebration

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

Our Weddings Team can also provide local accommodation suggestions, transport guidance and practical information for guests travelling from further afield.

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.
