The Observer Building


A spacious, modern industrial art gallery features a long white room with exposed silver ductwork on the ceiling, illuminated by pink and white lighting. Various sculptures and paintings, including horse figures, are displayed throughout the open space, and a person views art in the distance.
A spacious industrial-chic room, set up for an event, features a round table draped in black and white with place settings and a pink floral centerpiece. In the background, a buffet table with drinks is visible near large windows with white shades, and an exposed brick wall adds a rustic touch.
A stately multi-story stone building with large black-framed windows, featuring "FOUNDED 1857", "PRINTERS", "LITHOGRAPHERS", and "PUBLISHERS" carved into its facade. Signs for "OFFICE OF THE SUSSEX EXPRESS" and "F.J. PARSONS LTD" are also visible. The ground floor has a modern entrance with glass doors and a sign for "The OB Observer Building"

The historic Observer Building offers 2 unique spaces to hold your ceremony - the airy Event Space on the ground floor is fully accessible and welcomes children and dogs! The Board Room offers a more intimate space in what was originally the Editor's office of the Observer newspaper.
