The 16th Century Mansion is a Grade 1 listed Heritage building that was formerly owned by Lord Wakehurst and later the Price family, before being bequeathed to the National Trust and then later leased to Kew.
There are two main rooms available for hire within the Mansion. Both rooms can accommodate up to 60 guests each for dining with the possibility of the rooms opening up to be used as one larger space for up to 120 guests.
The light and airy Gallery displays botanical art and is Licensed for Civil Ceremonies and Civil Partnerships for up to 60 guests including the wedding couple.
The adjoining Dining Room's grand wood panelled walls and ornamental wood carved fire place create a lavish atmosphere for a seated wedding breakfast for up to 60 guests.
The West Sussex County Council provides registrars for the ceremony and must be booked directly by clients.
Please contact the West Sussex County Council on 01444 452157 to enquire about the legal necessities and fees associated with the Civil Ceremony. Please also call this number to provisionally book a registrar for the date you are holding in the Mansion.
Please be aware that the Mansion is only available for exclusive hire and is not available at an hourly rate or for a ceremony only fee.
Both rooms open onto a formal lawn, which can be used for drinks receptions on arrival or between your ceremony and wedding breakfast. The venue is licensed for both music and dancing.
The backdrop of the Mansion Lake presents outstanding opportunities for romantic and group photographs, whilst the Mansion makes an impressive setting for your reception.
For a more informal occasion the Mansion Gallery and Dining Room can accommodate up to 120 guests for a fork buffet or standing reception.
