Sumners Ponds Fishery and Campsite is set in the peaceful West Sussex countryside amongst 100 acres of lakes, woodland, and pasture. The campsite boasts high-quality facilities, acres of woodland, a working farm, and four fully stocked fishing lakes. We are based in the beautiful and secluded setting of Barns Green village, which is perfect for just relaxing onsite at The Café by the Lake restaura

nt and bar overlooking the stunning scenery, or spending an afternoon at the local pub, or even relaxing at the village green. For the more active there is plenty of exploring to be done along the countless footpaths and cycleways within and around the site, or maybe a visit to the local market town of Horsham to enjoy an evening meal at one of the many top-rated restaurants. Sumners Ponds is an ideal touring base, with many beautiful Sussex towns and villages nearby. Access to the South Downs and the coast is easy, while Brighton is a 30-minute drive and London is only one hour by train. There really is something for everyone. So come on down and say hi!

A little of everyday,
just as it was.

If you’ve visited Sumners over the years, chances are you’ve met Lee.

Around here, there’s a saying…

“Lee will fix it.”

If you’ve met Lee, you’ll probably know exactly why.

Always ready with a smile, happy to lend a hand, and never too busy for a chat, Lee has become a familiar face to so many of our guests.

When we asked Lee what he loves most about Sumners, his answer said it all.

“Meeting so many lovely people.”

Because to Lee, “it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a community of people enjoying their job.”

Lee is a huge part of what makes Sumners, Sumners.

So thank you Lee, for being you.

Tomorrow evening is looking rather special… 🌙✨

Wherever you’re choosing to watch the eclipse from, please make sure you’re viewing safely and have specialist eclipse glasses before looking towards the Sun.

UPDATE: We’ve now sold out of all our eclipse glasses!

All proceeds will be donated to lovely Ada, the daughter of a family friend of the Smith family, who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma at just six weeks old.

Her family are raising £100K to help Ada access a maintenance drug called DFMO, which can help reduce the chance of her cancer relapsing.

Thank you to everyone who donated and purchased a pair, your support is truly appreciated 🤍.

Although the glasses have now sold out, donations for Ada are still very welcome. For more information about Ada, her story and how you can support her, please follow the link below.

Please remember to view the eclipse safely and only look towards the Sun with specialist eclipse glasses.

See you under the sky! 🌙✨

After work last week, our bailiffs, Luke and Scott, took a few of the team down to the lakes for a spot of fishing 🎣.

We’ve been waiting to share this one… 🎬

Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome Princess, Junior, and Peter Andre to Sumners Ponds for a family fishing trip, filmed as part of The Princess Diaries. It was a pleasure to have Sumners Ponds chosen for such a special occasion, with our bailiff, Luke, on hand throughout to offer guidance and help the family enjoy their time on the lakes.

These behind-the-scenes moments were kindly captured by a member of the production crew, and now that the episode has aired, we’re so pleased to finally be able to share them with you.

Have you watched the episode yet?
