RREC South Eastern - Central Southern - Surrey Sections


Lunch at Horsted Place Hotel, Little Horsted, 

Uckfield, East Sussex TN22 5TS

Saturday, 22 March 2025 arrival from 12.30pm: lunch served at 1pm

 

The three south of England Sections of the RREC have proposed to work collaboratively and each of those Sections has agreed to host at least one annual event open to all three Sections. The first of these is being hosted by the South Eastern Section at Horsted Place Hotel near Uckfield in East Sussex.

Several members have commented that due to work, family or other commitments it can be difficult to attend events on a Sunday. This lunch has therefore been arranged for a Saturday as a “toe in the water” to assess support for Saturday events.

Horsted Place Hotel     https://www.horstedplace.co.uk/home

Originally a private family house, Horsted Place Hotel is now a 4-star country house hotel set in landscaped gardens with extensive views towards the South Downs. A grade II listed Victorian gothic mansion, it has original architectural features designed by Pugin and historical links to the British Royal Family.

Lunch will be served in the Garden Room overlooking the gardens of which we will have exclusive use.

Horsted Place Hotel is located on the A26 south of Uckfield.

If relying on a SatNav, this is likely to take you beyond the Horsted Place Hotel to Little Horsted Church. Look out for Horsted on the right-hand side of the A26 about 500 yards from the roundabout on the Uckfield bypass, where there is a permanent sign.

Car parking        The hotel will reserve parking bays out-front of the hotel.
