Bank Holidays

Relax over live music & our charcoal grill
Every bank holiday we put on live music and get out the charcoal grill for outdoor summer events. Expect a fun family (and pet) friendly day out with great food and entertainment. We always have something for the kids too with face-painting, ice cream and children's entertainment ( usually a magician and balloon animals! ). The showrooms and courtyard are always open for the day so relax on our lawns and maybe take a stroll down to Sheffield Park forest just across the fields at the back of our venue.
The live music
Our outdoor events are prepared weather dependant, so just in case it rains we always put out copious marquees and tents for you and the family to stay dry. Live music is usually from our unofficial house band The Tar Babies who are frankly, one of the funnest bands in the UK, comprised of top-end session musicians with a ridiculous resumé between them, playing 60s - 70s rock with flair just not seen from a covers band.

Enjoy Jazz & Brunch
Most Sundays we host live Jazz and our delicious brunch menu from 11 - 4pm. Expect relaxing ambience and lovely food from our café team.
Enjoy our delicious Brunch menu with favourites such as our Farmhouse Breakfast Sandwiches, Homemade Scotch Pancakes, or Avocado & Sourdough Toast. See the sample menu below for a better idea of what will be on offer. All of this and of course coffee, cakes, croissants and sandwiches as well. We always have several vegetarian & vegan options on the menu as well as a full kids menu for the little ones.
Upcoming Jazz Dates
We only hire some of the best Jazz trios and quartets in Sussex so you're in for a treat musically, so whether you are a fan or not, you'l be nodding your head to the jazz.
