Welcome to Farbridge

Nestled in the rolling downlands of the South Downs National Park, a quiet oasis of natural beauty. From summer warmth to winter cosiness, inside meets outside with bright, flowing interiors and pleasing vistas.

If these walls could talk, they would tell of family and friends coming together. Of vows exchanged, toasts made, food savoured. And every tale would be different. And every memory a new one. Because Farbridge is yours alone for your day. With a team working to make every moment special.
