About

Celebrate your special day in our idyllic setting, beneath the Selborne Hanger of the South Downs National Park. Gilbert White & The Oates Collections provides the perfect British country venue with a variety of informal yet distinctive spaces to hire for your ceremony, reception or party including a 16th Century barn, 30 acres of parkland and the historic house.

Enjoy your day in the 16th Century Hampshire Barn, with glorious views over tranquil meadows, or for a more intimate ceremony and reception, the historic house and White's Bistro.

The Great Mead affords a charming location for an outdoor reception. Whether this is a marquee, teepee, bell tent, etc. you will be surrounded by meadow with views to the house and across parkland. For those looking for an elopement we also offer an elopement package. For alternative ceremonies the woodland copse and grounds provide multiple locations.

Whichever location you prefer, the heritage setting affords unique photo memories. With a firepit as the sun goes down and outdoor games as some of the extras we include to make your day your own.

We offer access the day preceding for the purposes of setting up and to enable you clearing away time on the following day.

Testimonials

"This venue doesn't host very many weddings, and that's what we liked about it as it's not a faceless wedding factory. When we first went to look round it was in December, but even then we could see that it would be absolutely beautiful in the spring and perfect for how we wanted our day to be; it ticked all the boxes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the barn at Gilbert White's for couples looking for a flexible, relaxed venue in a stunning countryside setting."
