Gote Barn is a wedding venue located just outside Lewes in Sussex. Nestled away in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, it would make a truly idyllic venue to host the wedding day. Owned and run by the Craig family for over 75 years, Gote Barn also produces unpasteurized milk from their herd of Friesians. Along with this, they produce excellent, naturally-reared lamb grazed on the meadows near Glynde, at the foot of the Downs. The Grade II Listed barn with high vaulted ceilings has been around since around the 1600s, with many of the barn's original features still intact. Situated right in the heart of the Downs in the beautiful Sussex countryside, part of the Glyndebourne Estate, Gote Barn is 5 minutes from the center of Lewes and 20 minutes drive from Brighton.
