The Visitor Giving Partnership is a simple way of inviting voluntary donations from visitors, guests and customers to put something back into the places they love to visit. Hospitality businesses are perfectly placed to collect any contributions which their customers feel moved to give.
One such contributing business is Upwaltham Barns, a family-run, restored flint-barn wedding venue radiating rustic charm and warmth.
Nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park near Petworth, Upwaltham Barns has been the unique location for hundreds of couples’ special days since 2001. As part of the partnership, couples are asked to consider making a voluntary donation per booking to South Downs Trust to help enhance the special qualities of the South Downs National Park.

Operations Director, Jasmine Karim said:
“The breath-taking backdrop of the South Downs has long been one of the many reasons couples choose to celebrate their wedding with us at Upwaltham Barns. There is something profoundly moving about the raw, unspoilt beauty of this landscape that makes a wedding here feel all the more special.
“To help preserve this remarkable setting for generations to come, we joined the scheme to encourage our couples to consider supporting the Trust and contributing to the ongoing care and protection of these cherished surroundings.”
