Leonardslee Wine Estate, nestled in the heart of the Sussex countryside, offers a truly distinctive venue for parties, celebrations, and corporate events. Set across a historic 17th-century estate, the venue combines character-filled spaces with luxurious modern facilities, creating the perfect environment for everything from intimate dinners to grand occasions of up to 150 guests.
The estate is home to the Vineyard Hotel, a beautifully restored historic house with nine elegant bedrooms overlooking the championship golf course and rolling South Downs. For larger groups or longer stays, Fuller’s Cottage, a 17th-century four-bedroom self-catering property, provides charming accommodation for up to eight guests. Together, these spaces make Leonardslee as much a retreat as it is a venue.
Event spaces range from light-filled meeting rooms such as Latilla and Campbell to the combined Latilla Campbell Suite, accommodating up to 100 guests theatre style. For private dining, each room offers a sophisticated and intimate setting, with bespoke menus crafted by the estate’s talented chefs. Paired with exceptional wines from Leonardslee’s own family vineyards - including their English Sparkling - the dining experience becomes a highlight of any celebration.
Leonardslee’s versatility makes it ideal for everything from milestone birthdays and anniversaries to baby showers, corporate dinners, and product launches. Guests can arrive to welcome drinks on the south-facing terraces, enjoy panoramic views across the vineyards, and then retreat indoors for an evening of fine food, exceptional service, and music or entertainment.
For corporate groups, Leonardslee also offers tailored day delegate packages, including catering, AV equipment, and all the essentials for productive meetings. The estate goes beyond the boardroom, too, with activities designed to encourage connection and fun - wine tastings hosted by expert sommeliers, golf tournaments on the 18-hole championship course, or even relaxed games of tennis on site.
Blending refined surroundings with outstanding hospitality, Leonardslee Wine Estate provides not just a venue, but an experience. Whether you’re planning a private celebration or a business event, it’s a place where the charm of history meets the sophistication of modern luxury, ensuring memories that last long after the final toast.
