At Blacknest, we believe a great wedding is in the eye of the beholder. Our approach is anything but rigid. We don’t believe in tradition for tradition’s sake. It’s all about good old-fashioned fun, however you and your guests take it. Whether you find joy in sprawling feasts, winding countryside settings, the perfect glass of wine… or all of the above… you’re in safe hands. For weddings that break the rules in all the best ways, welcome to Blacknest.

Inspired by the stunning South Downs scenery it’s nestled within, the Woodlands Tipi allows you to take one step closer to nature, without sacrificing on home comforts. With its own kitchen and bar, you and your guests are the sole focus of our team, who are on hand to ensure your day runs exactly as you dreamt it up. Shape your celebrations with the Tipi, pavilion and lawn at your disposal to be dressed and arranged as you please. As the party gets going, guests can freely drift between soaking in the scenery, taking to the dancefloor and tucking into a plate of something delicious in their own countryside haven, exclusively yours for the day.

At the end of it all, take a starlit stroll through the woodlands, fall into our truly unique cabin accommodation and awake to your first morning as a newly married couple surrounded by friends, family and fresh air.
