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.
Your Perfect Day, Our Perfect Setting

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 licensed wedding venue.
Both the Ballroom & terraces are licensed 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.

Open Air Pool
The 40m open air pool is the Country’s only Grade II* listed Lido. The 1930’s unique crescent shaped swimming pool has been completely refurbished.
From sunset the building is entirely yours. When the pool is illuminated at night it provides a magical backdrop for special occasions.
Access to the pool itself can be arranged.

Sensational Dining
Catering is one of the most important aspects of any Wedding. Saltdean Lido are proud to work with successful local chef behind the success of Hove Place and most recently Carne in Hove.
We’re as passionate as our Head Chef about using exceptional produce and fresh locally sourced ingredients from handpicked suppliers across Sussex, including high welfare meats, sustainable south coast fish and local farm produce.

The Terraces
Our stunning terraces set the scene for unforgettable celebrations. Overlooking the shimmering pool with panoramic sky views, they provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic drinks reception or elegant evening gathering.
Fully furnished with stylish lounge seating, the terraces create a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, ideal for mingling with guests. With the Rotunda doors opening directly onto the space, the flow between indoors and outdoors feels seamless — making it a spectacular spot for group photos, golden-hour moments, and memories that last a lifetime

Dressing Room
Tucked away on the first floor, just moments from the ceremony spaces, our private dressing room offers a serene sanctuary designed for those final, unforgettable moments before you say “I do.”
This beautifully appointed space provides the perfect setting to make the finishing touches to your look, gather your thoughts, and enjoy a little calm before the celebrations begin. With its elegant furnishings, flattering lighting, and sense of intimacy, the room is ideal for sharing precious time with your closest friends or family — whether that’s a quiet pause, a few joyful photos, or a glass of fizz to toast the day ahead.

Post Ceremony
As the vows are exchanged and the ceremony comes to a close, our elegant Ballroom awaits — seamlessly transforming into the heart of your celebration.
With its timeless design and Art Deco charm, the Ballroom provides a beautiful setting for your wedding breakfast, offering space for guests to enjoy fine food, flowing drinks, and heartfelt toasts.
As day turns into evening, the atmosphere shifts effortlessly, creating the perfect stage for live music, a DJ, and of course, dancing the night away beneath the soft glow of our statement lighting.
