Limekiln is a stunning, new private hire events space in Sussex that opened in April 2024. While the venue is new, the team behind it are seasoned wedding experts, also owning Kin House in the Cotswolds and Millbridge Court in Surrey. Their signature style blends contemporary design with characterful antique pieces, ensuring a fresh yet timeless aesthetic. It’s truly a hidden gem.

Set within 60 acres of rewilded countryside and ancient woodland, Limekiln is a one of a kind venue east of London, combining modern architecture with an art deco twist. The whitewashed timber lodge reflects local heritage, with interiors curated by Red Deer and inspired by the Bloomsbury Group.
