The Old Ship

A wedding venue steeped in history

Wedding venue wine cellar

The Old Ship in Brighton, part of the newly established Cairn Collection, is one of Brighton’s oldest hotels, a wedding venue steeped in history. Set right on the bustling seafront, the 4* hotel boasts 154 guest rooms, 49 of which have far reaching views out to sea. Each guest room is individually designed, providing each with their own unique character.

Steeped in history, much of the hotel dates back to 1559.  At the heart of the hotel lies The Old Wine Cellar, which was once part of a series of smugglers’ tunnels discovered during restorations in the 1990s. A quirky room, with a story to tell, the wine cellar is a popular setting for an intimate wedding breakfast, and can cater for up to 30 guests.
