A Day and setting to remember
Saltdean Lido is a quintessentially English seaside venue, nestled between the South Downs and the famous white cliffs of Rottingdean beach, just fifteen minutes from the heart of Brighton.
It’s a historic and charming setting for weddings and celebrations.
"We feel incredibly privileged to have got married at your stunning venue. We couldn’t have asked for more."
Tracy & Simon - June 2024
The Ballroom
There are many elements that make Saltdean Lido a special place for couples to marry, from the outside terraces to the seaside setting.
Saltdean Lido is a fully licenced wedding venue. Both the Ballroom & terraces are licenced for
Civil Ceremonies.
Our original Art Deco Ballroom is particularly glorious, with its elegant, curved lines and distinctive curved terraces. The Ballroom can seat up to 150 guests for a seated meal. For an evening party we can accommodate up to 250 guests.
