Hidden Acres is a 300-acre wedding venue in the heart of Netherfield, Battle, East Sussex. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it offers ancient woodlands, serene gardens, and stunning countryside views. We're 50 miles from South London and easily reachable from Hastings and Battle train stations.
We offer a truly unique experience. The entrance, a charming Grade II listed gatehouse lit with festoon lights, sets the perfect tone. The grand farmhouse, featuring multiple master suites, accommodating up to 14 guests—ideal for all your wedding preparations. Enjoy lawn games on the manicured gardens and sweeping countryside views for your ceremony. A brand-new panoramic marquee, fully equipped with all the wedding essentials, ensures a flawless reception, with dedicated coordinator support to oversee every detail. Best of all, you receive exclusive three-day access to the entire estate, allowing extra quality time with those loved ones staying onsite.
We like to keep things simple with two flat-rate fees: one for midweek and one for weekends. These fees remain consistent throughout the entire season! Our package includes all the essentials, such as farmhouse accommodation, three empty bell tents, luxury toilets, a marquee, lighting, tables, chairs, a dance floor, and a PA system for ceremonies and speeches.
You can enjoy corkage-free drinks until 5 pm, after which our fully licensed bar with friendly staff is available. A dedicated wedding coordinator will guide you from start to finish, and there’s field parking for up to 40 cars. To make your day even more special, the venue offers complimentary stylish props like signs, lanterns, lawn games, rugs, pillows, wheelbarrows, and milk churns to add a personal touch. For the full list of inclusions and what you'll provide, visit our website: www.hiddenacres.co.uk.
We're a newly launched venue with good availability for May to September in 2025 and 2026.
Happy wedding planning!

Describe the best wedding that happened at Hidden Acres ?
The wedding party arrived Friday at 3 pm, adding personal touches to the marquee and spending the night onsite, waking up to peaceful countryside views. Guests began arriving at 1 pm on Saturday as the wedding party got ready in the house. Welcome drinks set the scene as guests admired the stunning surroundings. With everyone seated, the wedding music began, and the party made their entrance. The ceremony, held on a flat lawn with sweeping views, led into lively lawn games, music, and canapés. A delicious meal and heartfelt speeches followed in the marquee. As the sun set, guests relaxed, took photos, and prepared for the evening festivities. The cake was cut, dancing began, and campfires and lanterns lit up the night. Guests departed while the wedding party and campers enjoyed an extended celebration, checking out the next day at 3 pm.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Ensure your guests are well-fed before speeches begin—it keeps everyone happy and engaged. To maintain the energy, schedule some downtime after the meal and speeches. This brief decompression lets guests relax and recharge, setting the stage for a lively party afterward.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Create a unique touch with a "We're Getting Married" newspaper! This custom pre-ceremony handout engages guests with key timings, contractor credits, personal stories, or a special message from the couple. It’s a fun way to set the scene and keep everyone informed. Plus, you can find free templates on Canva!
