Gay Friendly Wedding Venue in Dumpford Lane, Trotten, Petersfield, West Sussex. GU31 5JN

Elegant and inviting, Southdowns Manor is a sprawling property, expertly designed for weddings and with its own unique style; a beautiful country residence with a collection of reception rooms each boasting a classic décor, a pretty Gazebo in the garden, an impressive Banqueting Suite and plenty of luxurious bedrooms.

Surrounded by idyllic rolling countryside, views of the South downs and positioned close to the picturesque village of Trotton, yet easily accessible from London, Southdowns Manor is a superb wedding venue in West Sussex.

Internally the property is sophisticated and stylish. The spacious hall immediately sets the scene with striking black and white floor tiles, an antique console table, a chaise lounge, a circular wooden table with a fabulous floral display and open fireplace. Each room is light and airy and decorated traditionally in shades of cream, grey and gold, yet incorporates many modern touches.

For those wanting to get married outdoors, the Gazebo in the garden is a wonderful option. Enclosed by a charming patio area that is lined with plants and surrounded by formal lawns, wisteria walkways and ancient walls, the grounds offer a breathtaking backdrop.

With a team of talented chefs the dining experience at Southdowns is exceptional. Using fresh produce, locally sourced where possible, couples can create bespoke menus for their wedding day, finished off with fine wine and champagne from the venue’s extensive wine cellar.

Luxury is at the heart of Southdowns Manor and the accommodation available is opulent and indulgent. The Honeymoon Suite is a private haven that is tranquil and tastefully dressed with a mahogany four poster bed, and Jacuzzi bath.
