Southend Barns announces the launch of new accommodation offering

The team at Southend Barns is excited to announce the launch of a new accommodation offering with six luxury bell tents. Nestled in a picturesque meadow, the bell tents are furnished with everything needed for an unforgettable and comfortable stay. Available from May to September, they're exclusively for those getting married at the award-winning venue, based in Chichester, West Sussex. Each tent accommodates up to two adults and comes equipped with lighting and charging points as well as double beds with Egyptian cotton bedding. They also have exclusive access to bathroom facilities including showers and WC, with a range of decadent Cowshed toiletries and soft towels available.

A new name for a Great venue

Sullington Tithe Barn has new name: Sullington Great Barn. The timbers of the Barn were recently dated to the 14th century when it would have been known as the Great Barn. Appropriate, as the barn is one of the largest in Sussex and is widely acknowledged to look great too! Its beautiful honey-coloured timbers radiate history and warmth, so the structure's new name is truly reflective of its character and past. What's more, a new wedding package is available here. Celebrating its 10th anniversary as a wedding venue the team decided to extend the offering for its couples.

Out of the box thinking from Cottesmore Hotel Golf & Country Club

Whether you're hosting an intimate reception or a grand affair the venue can create the day of your dreams. The latest addition is a fabulous new glass roof area in the courtyard allowing couples to enjoy their drinks reception al fresco even if the heavens decide to open. A feature is the new converted horsebox bar serving both pre- and postceremony drinks. "We're thinking of naming it Oscar's Bar after our cat who seems to make it into most wedding photos," says venue owner Louisa Porter. Indeed, regular readers of Your Sussex Wedding will be familiar with Oscar's celebrity status!
