A little planning. A better evening.

Keep it. Share it. Plan together.

Take a one-page checklist to your venue meeting, or send this planner to your partner. Both are free to use, whether or not you book with Sussex DJ Company.

Copy the public planner link

This link opens the public planner. It does not include your chosen venue, times or other personal plans.

For venues, planners and wedding suppliers

You are welcome to pass on the checklist or include this link in a welcome email or planning guide. The A5 card is ready to print for an agreed display space.

Use your own venue agreement for each event. Sharing the resource does not imply a supplier partnership or endorsement.

Know the finish before you plan the start

Sussex venue music times

Music off, last orders and guests leaving can be three different times. These notes keep them separate. Always confirm the current arrangement for your date.

Bignor, near Pulborough · West Sussex

Bignor Park

Day-specific
Music finish
23:00 Mon–Thu · 23:30 Fri–Sat · confirm Sunday
Departure
Midnight

The FAQ gives two different Sunday descriptions. Confirm Sunday directly; the calculator deliberately leaves it unset. Music finish and guest departure are separate.

Ask the venue: Please confirm the music finish for our exact date, especially Sunday or a bank holiday, and the permitted performance area.

Lower Beeding, near Horsham · West Sussex

Brookfield Barn

Published time
Music finish
23:45 · wind-down from 23:30
Departure
Midnight for non-residents

The guest FAQ specifies music off by 23:45, with the wind-down starting at 23:30. The calculator includes those final 15 minutes, so plan the big party tracks earlier.

Ask the venue: Please confirm the 23:30 wind-down and 23:45 music finish for our date and agree the final-song timing.

Bury, near Pulborough · West Sussex

Bury Manor Barn

Confirm your date
Music finish
23:00 weekdays · 23:30 weekends
Departure
Midnight

The FAQ uses weekday and weekend categories without defining their boundary days. Confirm how your date is classified before using a finish time.

Ask the venue: Does our date count as weekday or weekend under your music policy, and what is the exact music-off time?

Plumpton · East Sussex

The Half Moon, Plumpton

Published time
Music finish
23:00
Departure
Confirm with the venue

The wedding page specifies an 11pm music finish. Agree whether your celebration uses the marquee or pub; ordinary pub opening hours are not used as wedding music times here.

Ask the venue: Please confirm our wedding space, music finish and guest-departure time.

Iford, near Lewes · East Sussex

Iford Hall

Published time
Music finish
23:00
Departure
Confirm with the venue

The wedding music policy gives an 11pm cutoff and does not allow microphones or PA equipment outside. An indoor finish time does not give permission for an outdoor setup.

Ask the venue: Please confirm the indoor DJ position, supplier access and music-off time for our wedding.

Lodsworth, near Petworth · West Sussex

Lodsworth Village Hall

Space-specific
Music finish
Midnight indoors · 23:00 outdoors
Departure
Locked and vacated by 01:00

The hall distinguishes indoor and outdoor music. The hour after indoor music stops is for departure and closing the hall, not an extra hour of DJ music.

Ask the venue: Please confirm our indoor or outdoor performance area and who is responsible for locking the hall by 01:00.

Patching, near Worthing · West Sussex

Selden Barns

Published time
Music finish
DJ 23:45 · live music 22:15

The current general-information page separates live music finishing at 22:15 from the DJ finishing at 23:45. This calculator uses the DJ time. Ask for the current supplier sound guidelines.

Ask the venue: Please confirm the DJ finish, live-music cutoff if relevant, and current supplier sound guidelines.

Peasmarsh, near Rye · East Sussex

The Cherry Barn

Confirm music time
Music finish
Confirm the music finish
Departure
Midnight under the published standard arrangement

The venue FAQ states a guest-departure time, not a separate music cutoff. It mentions possible late arrangements for a fee; neither approval nor an extension is assumed here.

Ask the venue: What is our agreed music-off time, separately from guest departure, and is any different arrangement confirmed in writing?

Upwaltham, near Chichester · West Sussex

Upwaltham Barns

Published time
Music finish
Midnight
Departure
00:30

The guest information says music ends at midnight and guests depart by 00:30. Pre-book transport. The extra half-hour is a departure window, not additional DJ time.

Ask the venue: Please confirm our music finish, transport arrangements and supplier setup access.

West Dean, near Chichester · West Sussex

West Dean Gardens

Published time
Music finish
23:00
Departure

The wedding FAQ gives a 23:00 music cutoff, recommends taxis for 23:30 and requires departure by midnight. Check the approved setup for the hired reception space.

Ask the venue: Please confirm the reception music finish, approved setup and taxi pickup plan.

East Grinstead · West Sussex

Yoghurt Rooms

Confirm music time
Music finish
Confirm barn timing
Departure
Confirm your booked arrangement

The music section gives an 11pm barn cutoff; another section mentions 11:30pm. Confirm directly. A separate after-hours space is described, but its use, timings and equipment need agreement.

Ask the venue: Please confirm the barn cutoff and any separately agreed after-hours space. May our DJ bring their own speakers?

What the timings mean

This guide uses the venues’ own public pages, reviewed on 7 October 2026. Inclusion means we found relevant published information; it does not imply a preferred-supplier relationship. Dates, spaces and agreements can differ.

Why some venues ask you to confirm a time

If a source is unclear, gives conflicting times or only describes guest departure, the calculator leaves music finish unset. Confirm it with the venue, then enter the agreed time. Sunday and bank-holiday arrangements deserve a specific check.

How the party-time calculation works

We subtract your planned music pauses from the time between your party start and music finish. Midnight is the end of that evening; a confirmed time after midnight is the following day. An earlier start only helps if the venue and your suppliers can accommodate it.

Does this check availability or send my details?

No. The calculator runs in your browser and does not submit your choices. Downloading saves a text plan on your device. The email button opens a draft for you to review and send. Bookings, prices and permissions are confirmed separately.

Spotted a changed venue policy?

Please email us the venue’s updated information so we can review it. Use your written venue agreement for your event.

A good running order leaves room for your favourite people, your favourite music and an unhurried final song.
