Where to Stay

Lewes is a classic historic market town with plenty of character, but that also means boutique hotels and town-centre rooms are finite. With our celebrations winding down at midnight, staying nearby makes for an easy end to the night.

If you are planning to stay overnight, we strongly recommend booking your accommodation as early as possible.

Stay at the Venue

For the ultimate zero-commute bedtime, there are a limited number of guest rooms available right at the venue. You can tumble straight upstairs to bed as soon as the music wraps up at midnight, and join us for breakfast the following morning.

Because these are exclusively reserved for our wedding guests, you’ll just need to use our private code when booking:

Direct Booking Link: Pelham House Booking Portal

Access Code: 20270912niamh

Note: Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend booking early if you fancy staying under the same roof.

In Lewes (Walking Distance)

Staying in town means you can wander back on foot after carriages at midnight without needing to coordinate a late-night taxi.

The White Hart Hotel (High Street)

5-minute walk

A traditional coaching inn right on the High Street, featuring characterful rooms and an easy, flat stroll back from Pelham House.

The Dorset Arms (Mallings Street)

10-minute walk

A much-loved local pub offering cosy, boutique bedrooms upstairs alongside great food and ales.

Premier Inn Lewes (Court Road)

6-minute walk

Airbnbs & Townhouse Rentals

There are several charming period cottages and rental flats tucked away along the cobbled twittens and residential lanes of Lewes.

Tip: If you book an Airbnb and plan to bring a car, double-check whether the property comes with a dedicated off-street parking space or a visitor permit.

Nearby Options (Short Taxi or Train Ride)

If rooms in Lewes fill up or you fancy turning the weekend into a seaside escape, there are great alternatives just down the road:

Brighton (15 minutes away)

Direct trains run between Lewes and Brighton until late, and the drive takes around 15 minutes. It offers endless options at every price point, from boutique seafront hotels like The Artist Residence and The Grand to budget-friendly chains.

The Blacksmiths Arms (Offham)

5-minute taxi ride

A picturesque countryside pub just north of Lewes offering peaceful rural rooms.

Eastbourne (20–25 minutes away)

Another easy seaside alternative directly connected by rail, with plenty of coastal hotels and guest houses along the promenade.

Architectural photography captures the ornate facade of 'The White Hart' building. The establishment displays classic British architecture in daylight.

A Quick Reminder on Midnight Travel

If your accommodation is outside walking distance in Lewes, remember that rideshare apps like Uber do not operate reliably in the area. Please make sure you pre-book your taxi to collect you from Pelham House at midnight.
