Fairlight Hall is a private family home set in some 90 acres of pleasure gardens, pasture and woodland, with commanding views across farmland to the English Channel and the Rye Bay peninsula. The mock Tudor mansion was built in the 1850s by a Sussex family of landed gentry who, in a relatively short period of time amassed an estate of some 4,000 acres. Today Fairlight Hall plays host to a number of different events managed by the family and supported by a team of housekeepers, gardeners and estate workers.
Fairlight Hall is very much a family home which is shared where possible for the enjoyment of neighbours and local community organisations. Although the house itself is not open for public viewing, the pleasure gardens and grounds have been enjoyed on many occasions during the past decade as the host venue for charitable events and garden openings.
Please take a look below for monthly open gardens events, as well as outdoor recitals and theatre performances.
