Facilities and Capacity

At The Birch Hotel, you and your guests can enjoy a touch of history as you relax fireside in the wood-panelled lounge or walk the length of the Victorian interiors. Alighting down the grand staircase, the stage is set for you to tie the knot in the beautiful Sussex Room, witnessed by 60 loved ones. Afterwards, you can toast your long-awaited union in the modern bar area. During the Summer months, you can take full advantage of the garden area as you sip on a celebratory Pimms or Bucks Fizz. These pristine grounds are ideal for capturing your wedding photographs before beginning the festivities indoors. If you adore the outdoor views, the light and airy Courtyard Room allows you to continue to enjoy them through its large windows. Boasting a barrel-vaulted ceiling, this rustic space can hold up to 70 seated guests or 120 for the reception. Alternatively, you can return to the Edwardian-inspired Sussex Room for an intimate sit-down meal of 40. With ample accommodation offerings, you will also have the opportunity to host a breakfast for the following morning before saying your goodbyes.
