Bartholomew Barn is situated in a stunning, rural setting, 5 minutes drive from Petworth. In spring, the woods are carpeted with bluebells and the pretty gardens are always full of colour.

The barn is fully restored using authentic materials but comfort has not been sacrificed. A huge wood-burning stove at one end of the barn makes it equally suitable for winter or summer reception parties. Double doors lead on to a sheltered courtyard which with its central fish pond, parasols and patio heaters has a lovely, relaxed Mediterranean feel.

A small open-sided Barn runs the length of the courtyard -decorated with flowers, hanging baskets or fairy lights, this is lovely for an evening barbecue or spit roast. The central fish pond, covered with scented waterlillies, is illuminated as dusk falls, creating an elegant, original and dramatic setting. Up to 100 guests can be seated for dining in the barn, for larger numbers (up to 150) a marquee can be added to the side of the barn.
