Part of the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Tournerbury Woods is a breathtaking natural estate comprising 50 acres of lush woodland and parkland with a very special hidden gem; the beautifully restored 150 year-old ‘Woods Cottage’.

A real idyllic location for an outdoor wedding with a difference, the natural environment envelopes the senses as you arrive at this magical location which allows for total escapism. Surrounded by majestically towering trees and positioned so close to the ocean that you can hear the waves lap the shore is where most couples choose to tie the knot in Tournerbury’s fabulous fully equipped marquee.

Offering panoramic views of one of the South coast’s last undeveloped harbours and surrounded by a semi-ancient woodland of mature English Oak, Corsican pine and centuries old yew trees, the marquee is unlike any other wedding venue and will host both the wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast and after party.

Guests can enjoy the stunning surroundings at Tournerbury with a stroll through the woods or a walk on the beach and newlyweds are sure to find some of the most inspirational and amazing locations for photographs that make the most of the wonderful scenery and natural environment.

At any time of year, Tournerbury offers truly unrivalled photographic opportunities. Whether newlyweds dream of a seascape or woodland background to their wedding photos, the landscape offers endless possibilities for capturing the essence of such a special day.

It also offers the space and freedom to incorporate something different into your celebration. Perhaps arriving by boat or helicopter, or staging some giant garden games to entertain guests and get the party started. Whatever is chosen, the unique location will make a very special backdrop.

Finally, when the celebrations draw to a close, newlyweds can escape to the stunning and lovingly restored Woods Cottage. Positioned at the heart of the estate, it nestles in 50 acres of woodland and offers total relaxation and privacy.

The cottage has been completely refurbished using the highest quality materials to retain its history and charm while creating a luxurious and extremely comfortable environment with all modern conveniences. Assuring stunning views, the kitchen overlooks the creek with vistas from the table over ‘My Lord’s Pond’. The large South and West facing windows catch the sun throughout the day making it a wonderful place to relax after such a significant celebration and observe the wildlife on the cottage lawns.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Tournerbury Woods is a wedding venue unlike no other. For those looking for something a bit different with a close link to the natural environment and the great outdoors, it is a unique, magical and fitting place for a special celebration.
