Meet, Greet and Gather at The Bell

In the quintessentially English village of Ticehurst in East Sussex, just an hour from London, you will discover the storybook charm of The Bell.

Full of character, and hidden gems, this former 16^th Century Coaching Inn has been transformed into a creative paradise, visual treat and dream-like escape from reality.

Seamlessly blending old and new, The Bell provides the most stylish, yet modest of backdrops for any occasion. Whether you are planning a private dinner, a birthday, a corporate retreat or a product launch, we have a space for you. With a team who look after every detail, all you need to do is relax and enjoy the moment.

Think of us as your home from home – just with good honest food, a thoughtfully stocked bar and generous portion of passion.

Weddings

The Bell is the perfect backdrop for a quirky wedding that will delight you and your guests.

Relaxed informality is dispensed with dedicated professionalism that makes us a highly favoured wedding venue in the South East.

Our Big Room for fancy dos can accommodate 90 guests sitting down and up to 120 for evening parties. So, whether you want to get married at The Bell or simply celebrate your nuptials with us, we are yours for the day.

Corporate Retreats

We look after everything from simple morning sessions to launch events and hands-on creative workshops. We work with a carefully chosen group of partners who help us deliver sessions that open ideas and encourage fresh conversation. If you prefer something more laid back, we can arrange wine, gin or cocktail masterclasses as part of your day.

For those looking for something a little more unique, then join us for our Analogue Adventures. Real-world, sensory-rich experiences designed for teams who want time away from screens, structure, and routine. Combining adventure, wellbeing and creativity – our Analogue Adventures offer a deliberate contrast to digital life, and a return to our physical environment.

Private Events

Our private event spaces are designed to host everything from intimate dinners to lively celebrations.

Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, a family gathering, a celebration of life, or a larger party, we can tailor the layout and atmosphere to suit your vision. With flexible seating, fabulous food, and attentive service, every detail is taken care of so you can focus on your guests.

From relaxed, personal dinners to grand occasions with music, drinks, and dancing, our spaces create memorable experiences in a warm and welcoming setting. Whatever the occasion, we make it feel completely your own

A Place That’s Recognised Too

The Bell is proud to be a 5* inn with two AA Rosettes, and the winner of Community Spaces at The Pineapples. Recognition that reflects not just the food, service and rooms, but the role The Bell plays as a creative, welcoming space at the heart of its community.

Plan Your Event

Whatever it is you are planning, our team’s in-depth knowledge of our spaces makes them the ideal experts to help you create an occasion that feels effortless, enjoyable and unmistakably Bell.
