Bignor Park is an exceptional place to celebrate any special occasion.

The twelve hundred acre, privately owned estate is situated in the most beautiful and unspoilt surroundings at the foot of the magnificent South Downs, within the new South Downs National Park. Tucked far away from traffic noise and civilisation down an impressive half mile long drive, it is majestic but with an understated style, and a quirky rugged charm.

What sets Bignor Park apart is that no two events that we host are the same – there is no set formula for how your day will unfold because there are a variety of options available to you. In hiring our venue for your wedding, party or corporate event, you have the exclusive use of eleven acres of grounds and gardens to include the Greek Loggia (licensed for ceremonies), formal gardens, sweeping lawns, the Temple, and the calming Zen pond. Your photographs will tell the story beautifully, with some of the most breathtaking backdrops you can imagine.

Then, for dining and for dancing, the newly restored Stables offer a rustic suite of rooms, courtyard and quadrangle dating back to the Eighteenth Century, or a marquee can be erected on the Croquet Lawn overlooking the panoramic South Downs.

WEDDINGS

Bignor Park is a dream venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions. It epitomises rural elegance and offers flexibility and exclusivity.

We provide you with the backdrop, the rest is up to your imagination and aspirations to create the perfect day. You can be sure it will be a unique experience, because the versatility of our setting means you can choose exactly how you want it – a day that is yours and yours alone.

But more than that, because Bignor Park is family-run and we limit our availability for weddings to ten couples per year, we can go the extra mile to make sure your wedding runs smoothly, and you and your guests are relaxed, excited and have a great time.

For example, we understand the importance of feeling calm and under control as you prepare for your wedding day which is why we only ever accept one booking per weekend, and equipment deliveries can be co-ordinated and decorations in place up to four days beforehand.

We fully appreciate how important it is to feel comfortable with your surroundings, so we are happy for you to visit as many times as you need to over the months and weeks running up to your big day - for example with your family, florist or photographer.

……And in the unlikely event of rain, we even encourage you to return to take photographs in the sunshine.
