Chichester-based venue Southend Barns is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The wedding hotspot plans to mark its milestone with a series of celebratory events including a party for past couples where a sculpture created by local artist Kate Viner will be unveiled. Commissioned in honour of the anniversary, this stunning artwork has been designed to represent the bonds of love that a wedding day embodies. Crafted in bronze, it will be located in the gardens of the venue to to be enjoyed by couples and their guests for years to come.

Originally a collection of working farm buildings, Southend Barns was transformed in 2012 and has continued to evolve thanks to the innovative and dynamic approach of its owners, Mariella and William Fleming. From its sensitive renovation using environmentally sustainable materials, which saw the venue receive a Sussex Heritage Trust Award, to more recent additions of a stylish outdoor ceremony area, allotment for the kitchen team and luxury Shepherd's hut accommodation. The team has worked hard to keep Southend Barns as one of the leading wedding venues in the area.

Long may it continue we say, and cheers to the team! Find out more at www.southendbarns.co.uk
