FORAGED COCKTAIL WORKSHOP - MOST FRIDAYS

HOME FARM LUNCH: TIME FOR HARVEST - 22 SEPTEMBER at 2 PM
In September, we give thanks for harvest, an abundant summer and the transition to autumn. To mark the equinox, we'll gather for a family-style Sunday lunch with delicious dishes made with some of our very favourite ingredients.
EARTH MENU IN MARLE - THROUGHOUT SUMMER
This privilege we feel working so closely with our land and with like-minded producers inspires a humble desire to make the most of each and every ingredient… And from this inspiration, the seed was planted for our Earth Menu.
This delicious 7-course experience is shaped by the often overlooked and unloved bits of ingredients that form our regular offering.
This experience is open to all.

Take the best of the season and a bit of

SUMMER DINING
From picnics across our estate, to lunching on the Italian Terrace. Let's go al fresco.
There's no better way to reconnect with nature than dining in the Great Outdoors. Both Marle and Hearth are lucky enough to have outdoor terraces to make the most of when the weather behaves. But a picnic down by the Lower Lake or a long lunch on the Italian Terrace are not to be overlooked...
Our Corner of Hampshire
Tucked in the heart of North Hampshire countryside, Heckfield Place is a haven – a living place that celebrates the slow and simple.
Steeped in history, yet fully connected to the present - a base from which to reconnect with the Great Outdoors and explore some of England’s most iconic sites.
Nature and history coincide and sit on our doorstep – from sites like Stonehenge and Windsor Castle, to the rich woodlands, rolling parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty that make up the natural Hampshire landscape.
All just an hour from London…
