About Venue
Swallows Oast is the perfect wedding venue, located in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside at Gibbs Reed Farm.
The charming 1830’s venue is full of unique and traditional character and has been a wonderful banqueting hall for over 20 years, perfect for your wedding celebrations. The Oast’s roundels at the end of the building provide a fantastic main entrance into the hall for your ceremony. The main hall, with its beautiful oak-beamed ceiling and traditional minstrels’ gallery, can comfortably seat up to 130 guests for an intimate celebration.
The Swallows Pavilion offers a stunning outdoor alternative for your ceremony, with the option to hold part of the service in the woodland. The Pavilion also offers a wonderful setting for an evening meal or relaxed barbeque.
Following the Swallows Trail, you will reach a photographer’s dream scene. With stunning countryside views stretching out into the distance, the tranquil spot provides the perfect backdrop for your all-important wedding photographs.
If you’re in need of additional space for your guests, we offer marquees as an extra. Available for your full reception or just for arrival drinks, the marquee adjoins to the Oast and comes complete with flooring, champagne lining, chandeliers and orangery windows.
Your wedding breakfast will be provided by Capers Catering. Russell Webb and his fantastic team will create a delicious selection of dishes to suit your budget and personal tastes. All the dishes are created from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

We attended a wedding evening here last weekend. I have to say I had not heard of it before and it's tucked away. Our friends had put fairy lights everywhere which gave it a gorgeous twinkle ✨️ The weather was glorious so it was perfect for sitting outside. There were only a few tables and chairs on the patio so a lot of guests like ourselves sat on the wall. It's great for an intermit wedding. There was space in the barn for a band and room to dance. We had chips in cones and cheese on toast, both were delicious and a lovely idea. Freshly made and served. It's a lovely rural venue and great you can decorate it to suit your own style which our friends did brilliantly.

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Charlotte & Toms day at Swallows Oast. What a beautiful Venue. The venue itself is stunning with so many possibilities for your outdoor Ceromony space. Capturing core memories at a venue like this is pure magic! Hope to be back soon x
