Courtyard Social Outdoor Event Center
Courtyard Social was our open air event space outside the Litchfield Exchange, a half mile from Litchfield Beach. It closed along with the Pawleys Island Event Center in November 2023.
Courtyard Social was an idea for summer nights outside the Litchfield Exchange. It has closed, and the offices upstairs carry on.
What Courtyard Social Was
Courtyard Social was pitched as an outdoor event space for summer: host your event under the sun and stars, steps from US 17 and a short drive from the beach.
The plans covered a wide range of gatherings. Local bands, movie nights, art shows and food truck nights were all on the list. So were private events like birthday parties, family reunions, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and corporate get-togethers. One idea that stood out was a movie night under the stars with blankets and popcorn.
The setting
The space was a large, open air patio area at the Litchfield Exchange building, 14361 Ocean Highway, the same building as Applewood House of Pancakes. It was advertised for up to 300 guests, with access to the building's bathrooms. Being about a half mile from Litchfield Beach made it a natural fit for beach-themed parties.
Who it was for
Rentals were offered to event promoters, businesses and individuals. The Collective also offered to help promote events held there. Those rentals ended with the closure, and we don't list the old rates here because they are no longer on offer.
What You Can Still Do at the Litchfield Exchange
The building is still home to Litchfield Collective's executive offices on the third floor. Office members can book the conference room for meetings with clients.
Need a business address but not an office? Our mailbox services give you a physical street address with mail and package acceptance from any carrier. And if you were looking for the indoor room, the Pawleys Island Event Center page explains what it offered before it closed.

The Courtyard on Ocean Highway
This photo of the fenced courtyard, with its tables and chairs out front of the Litchfield Exchange, was the picture on the Courtyard Social page. Litchfield by the Sea is across the road, and parking is free.
Litchfield Collective also runs the Pawleys Island Alliance, a grassroots alliance of local businesses.
Looking for a place to work, not party?
Private executive offices on the third floor come with conference room access and a Pawleys Island address.
