    Wedding receptions

    An outstanding 20th-century garden, set around a romantic house and ruins, in beautiful woodland. With panoramic views and an intimate atmosphere, Nymans provides an idyllic setting for your wedding reception.

    There are two locations within the garden for marquee wedding receptions. Please note that Nymans does not offer wedding ceremonies.

    The Pinetum

    Re-designed after the Great Storm of 1987, with a theatrical horse-shoe of pines focussing on the Messel Temple, the Pinetum contains many unique and rare trees which surround a wild-flower meadow. The panoramic views across the Sussex High Weald extend out unspoilt toward the South Downs creating a picturesque landscape backdrop.

    • Capacity: 60-200
    • Price: £1,750 (plus marquee costs)

    The Main Lawn

    Surrounded by colourful and scented flower beds, topiary and one of the grandest cedar trees in the country, the intimate atmosphere of the Main Lawn is heightened by the dramatic ruins of Nymans House.

    • Capacity: 60-500
    • Price: £2,250 (plus marquee costs)
