Nestled in the heart of Sussex, surrounded by quaint villages and breath-taking countryside, yet just 11 miles from London Gatwick Airport, 36 miles from London and 20 miles from Brighton, the South of England Event Centre provides the ideal venue for any occasion.
With five dedicated indoor venues housing ten different versatile spaces, and outdoor sites available to hire across our 150-acre estate, we can provide the perfect sized event space tailored just for you.
Public, private and corporate events have all been held in our grounds. From parties to proms, training seminars, conferences and exhibitions, team building and activity days, to concerts, motor shows, outdoor track and equestrian competitions, and more, the sheer adaptability of the event centre and potential for growth gives you the ‘Space for Success’.
From intimate meetings to large-scale adaptable spaces, here’s a snapshot of our available spaces:

All hireable spaces are subject to availability.
