Weald & Downland Living Museum, Chichester

The Weald & Downland Living Museum is a one-of-a-kind location for your wedding, set in the heart of the South Downs National Park. The museum boasts more than 50 historical buildings set in a beautiful 19th century park and provides an outstanding backdrop for your day, which your photographer will love. Completed in 2002, the Download Gridshell was the first structure of its kind to be built in the UK. Constructed using solid oak laths, bent into a double curvature, it takes its name from the resulting shell-like shape. The awe-inspiring architecture means you benefit from an uninterrupted space surrounded by peaceful woodland, which can accommodate 120. Greenways Fields offers a completely blank canvas, ready for your spark of creativity. Tranquil and idyllic it offers a variety of scenic areas for 250 ceremony guests. Alternatively, the timber-framed 16th-century Upper Hall is ideal for more intimate "I dos" of 50. All three can also play host to your celebrations, with ample space in Greenways Fields for 500 guests.If, however, you'd prefer a blessing, you can head out to the woodland of ash, beech, hornbeam and sycamore trees, to the Roots ceremonial clearing accompanied by 50-80 loved ones.
