Frickley Lake Wedding Photography | Festival-Style Weddings in Sussex

A relaxed festival-style wedding at Frickley Lake. From tipi tents to lakeside portraits, discover why this unique Sussex venue is perfect for couples planning a laid-back celebration.

Frickley Lake Wedding Photography

Frickley Lake is one of Sussex’s most unique wedding venues. A hidden gem surrounded by countryside, with a lake at its heart and plenty of space for festival-style celebrations. It’s the kind of place where you can pitch a tipi, fill it with music, and party until the stars come out.

That’s exactly what Vicki and Sam did for their Frickley Lake wedding. They wanted a day that felt like them: colourful, laid-back, and filled with the energy of a music festival. Friends and family gathered lakeside, drinks in hand, ready for a celebration that was more party than performance.

Festival-Style Vibes

The reception was set up under giant tipi tents, with long tables decorated in a festival theme. Think bunting, wildflowers, and splashes of colour everywhere. Food and drink flowed, the music started early, and guests embraced the spirit with glitter, dancing, and all.

Lakeside Portraits

One of the highlights of a Frickley Lake wedding is the setting itself. With the water as a backdrop, we took some time to wander down to the lakeside for portraits. The light across the water was incredible, and it gave the couple a chance to pause together before diving back into the chaos of the party.
