Situated in the heart of historic Lewes, just over an hour from London and 25 minutes from Brighton, Pelham House is a stunning 16th-century townhouse wedding venue that offers a rich combination of historic charm and modern luxury.

The entire property is exclusively yours for the day, from the celebration rooms with ornate original features to tranquil gardens framed by rolling countryside and East Sussex clifftops. Conveniently located near a train station and offering stylish accommodation for up to 56 guests, it’s the perfect setting for a celebration with family and friends.

The Grade II listed venue features versatile spaces that cater to all your needs. The Courthope Mews houses The Dressing Room, a luxurious haven where you can prepare, spend quality time with loved ones, and catch a glimpse of arriving guests. For ceremonies, the Goring Room offers intimate charm with bay windows overlooking the garden, while The Gazebo provides an enchanting alfresco option with a flower-lined aisle and picturesque surroundings.

Your wedding breakfast takes place in The Blencowe Room, where grand marble pillars, intricate wood panelling, and dazzling feature lighting set the scene. Expert chefs will collaborate with you to create a perfect meal, from sharing boards to fine dining feasts, with ample space for dancing afterward.

Food and drink at Pelham House are a memorable experience, featuring family-style sharing boards, wood-fired pizzas, vibrant street food, and signature cocktails. The flexible à la carte menu allows you to tailor dishes to your tastes, with bespoke options available for a truly unique celebration.
