Covering an area of almost 700 square miles, East Sussex is a fusion of rolling countryside, coastal charm, quaint medieval villages, and modern seaside towns. An inspirational part of the country which, as well as being modern and contemporary, is steeped in history. Its outstanding natural beauty means you will never be short of a backdrop for your photos. East Sussex is a shire county in the South East of England, with over 50 miles of iconic Sussex coastline, including the Sunshine Coast. East Sussex features an area of outstanding natural beauty known as the Weald in the rural north, historic fishing villages and coastal towns such as Eastbourne and Hastings to the south, and the ports of Rye and Newhaven to the east and west, with the county town of Lewes also situated in the west. Crowborough in the north borders the Ashdown Forest.
East Sussex is home to many buildings and towns of historical significance, such as Battle and Rye. We have many castles dotted around the county, several of which are amongst our venues licensed for weddings and civil partnerships. To the south we have the instantly recognisable Seven Sisters, and the Seven Sisters Country Park surrounding them is part of the South Downs National Park.
In line with the East Sussex County Council priority of driving sustainable economic growth, we use East Sussex suppliers where possible.
