Hawthbush Farm is a stunning and magical woodland wedding venue with a big, light and airy barn.
I'm lucky enough to have shot several Hawthbush Farm weddings.

Hawthbush wedding film and here's There's a woodland clearing for outdoor ceremonies and a big bright barn for dinner - as well as a hang out tent, open-sided barn for a bar, and a fire pit for marshmallows. There's also camping in the wildflower meadow and a hot tub in the woods (hello major selling point!!).
Hawthbush Farm is one of my favourite woodland wedding venues in Sussex. It’s tucked away in the countryside and has this magical, slightly wild feeling that makes it perfect for relaxed outdoor weddings.
One of the highlights of Hawthbush is the woodland ceremony area. Couples get married in a clearing surrounded by trees, which feels incredibly atmospheric and intimate. Afterwards everyone heads back to the big barn for dinner and the evening party.
There’s loads of space for guests to explore too – from the meadow where people can camp to the fire pit area where everyone gathers once the sun goes down. It’s the kind of venue where people kick off their shoes, grab a drink and just enjoy the day.
I’ve photographed several weddings here over the years and every single one has had its own vibe, from chilled woodland ceremonies to full-on party evenings in the barn.
If you’re dreaming of a Sussex woodland wedding, Hawthbush Farm is a really special place to do it.
Details about Hawthbush Farm
They hire out the venue for three days so you can set up on the Friday and have a chilled BBQ on the Sunday. I can't think of a better way to finish off a wedding! You can also hire the cottages to stay in and get ready in - just a short walk down a track to the woodland ceremony area.
