Exclusive Venue Hire at Alciston Tithe Barn: Your Day, Your Way
Flexibility
At Alciston Tithe Barn, we understand that creating an unforgettable event requires more than just a beautiful space; it demands time, flexibility, and peace of mind. That's why our exclusive venue hire provides exceptional freedom, granting you unparalleled access to our magnificent Grade I listed barn and stunning grounds.

Three-Day-Hire
Unlike many venues, we offer you the luxury of exclusive access from the day prior to your event through to the end of the day after. This generous three-day hire period is designed to eliminate rushed setups and frantic clear-ups, ensuring your experience is as seamless and stress-free as possible.

What does this exceptional flexibility mean for your event?
-
Relaxed Setup: For a Saturday wedding hire, for instance, you gain full access from Friday morning. This allows ample time for your chosen suppliers – florists, caterers, decorators – to meticulously set up the barn to your exact specifications without feeling pressured. You can truly take your time with venue dressing, personalising every detail.
-
Enjoy Your Day: On the day of your event, your focus can remain entirely on celebrating and making memories. There's no need to worry about external teams needing access for setup, as everything will already be perfectly in place.
-
Leisurely Cleanup: The hire period extends through Sunday, providing a relaxed timeframe for post-event cleanup and collection of decorations. This means you and your team aren't scrambling late into the night or early the next morning, allowing for a calmer conclusion to your celebrations.
-
Personalised Planning: This extended access empowers you to plan your event's timeline precisely, accommodating rehearsals, early deliveries, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of your chosen venue before the big day.

Parking & Grounds
We offer ample parking for all events within the picturesque Dovecote Field. This ensures convenient and easily accessible parking for all your guests, allowing them to arrive and depart with ease.
In addition to the parking area, the expansive Party Field, approximately one acre in size, provides a versatile space for outdoor celebrations. This field is ideal for hosting civil ceremonies amidst the beautiful Sussex countryside. It can also be used for outdoor receptions, drinks receptions, or any other open-air gathering, either as a standalone venue or in conjunction with the magnificent Tithe Barn. Imagine your guests enjoying the stunning views and fresh air before or after celebrating within the barn itself.

Alciston Church Weddings
For couples seeking a traditional church wedding, the historic Alciston Church may be available. This charming church, with roots dating back centuries, offers a beautiful and intimate setting for your ceremony. Please note that any arrangements for marriage within Alciston Church must be made directly with the vicar.
