Michelham Priory – A Breathtaking Historic Wedding Venue in Sussex
Elizabethan barn and seven acres of glorious grounds

Imagine a historic Tudor mansion set amidst seven glorious acres of grounds tucked away behind a medieval gatehouse and moat

In a stunning part of the East Sussex countryside, lies the beautiful Michelham Priory. A secluded medieval island complete with an Elizabethan barn, perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions.

The barn has a spectacular vaulted, beamed ceiling filled with fairy lights, a bar and both a courtyard garden at the front and private walled garden, perfect for lawn games and watching the sun set over the moat.
