Balcombe Place

Balcombe Place is a historic wedding venue nestled in the charming hamlet of Hickstead, in England's West Sussex region. Invite your guests to bask in the serene countryside views of the South Downs and enjoy a transformative experience. With its spacious interiors, landscaped gardens, and stylish décor, this country home is the perfect choice for those seeking timeless, old-world charm.
Facilities and Capacity
Balcombe Place boasts versatile reception rooms and can host traditional fairytale weddings, eccentric parties, or a little of both. You'll have six stunning areas to choose from, each as impeccably designed as the last. Civil ceremonies with up to 120 guests can be held in one of three licensed rooms, followed by a wedding breakfast in the Music Room. When combined with other areas, receptions with up to 350 guests can be comfortably accommodated. The Victorian architecture and vintage furnishings throughout create a dreamy backdrop for not only celebrations of love but some truly indulgent photoshoots. Upon booking, you'll also have access to the formal gardens, which are ideal for a wedding breakfast beneath a marquee or some playful lawn games.
