TRAVEL
The venue is a little over an hour outside of London, and easily accessible by public transport from London, Brighton, and major airports. If you’re flying in the day before the wedding, we highly recommend arriving at Gatwick Airport, which is only a 20 minute drive away from the venue.
Taking public transport? We recommend you take the Thameslink to Haywards Heath – you can start your journey from many London Thameslink stations, including Finsbury Park, London St Pancras, Farringdon, London Bridge, and Gatwick Airport. You can book tickets in advance from the official website or the Trainline app; alternatively, you can tap in and out of stations with your contactless card. To plan your journey on the day, we recommend using CityMapper or Google Maps and entering Haywards Heath Station as your destination to get the most accurate guidance.
From Haywards Heath Station, the Ravenswood is only a 15-minute cab ride away. We recommend you pre-book a taxi with Western Cars, Evo Taxis, Smith Taxis, Alpha Cars, United Cars, or Metro Cars. Ubers are available but may be inconsistent depending on the time of day.
Driving to the venue? There is plenty of parking space at the Ravenswood, so you’re welcome to bring a car. Car rentals are available in London and in major airports. Reminder that traffic drives on the left side of the road here, so check that you’re comfortable with a left-hand drive before booking!
Heading back to London after the celebrations? If you want to travel back to London by train, you must pre-book a cab to the nearest train station (Haywards Heath). Please note that the last Thameslink leaves Haywards Heath at around half-past midnight and service only resumes at 4:30 AM, so plan accordingly.
STAY
The night before the wedding: If you’d like to stay near the venue the night before the wedding, we recommend the following options: Alexander House, Crowne Plaza Felbridge, The Brambletye Hotel, Roebuck Hotel, & The Cat Inn. Nearby towns like East Grinstead and Haywards Heath also have Travelodge and Premier Inn hotels, which tend to be more budget-friendly.
