Spring stays, long lunches and Sussex in bloom
Easter at The Alfriston
Easter at The Alfriston is a celebration of slower days and brighter mornings. Set in the heart of one of Sussex’s prettiest villages, spring arrives gently here - blossom in the lanes, light stretching across the South Downs, and tables laid for long, generous lunches.
Whether you’re gathering family for Easter Sunday, escaping for a few nights in the countryside, or slipping away for a little spa time, Easter is an invitation to linger.
Easter Floral Workshop
Join us at The Alfriston on Sunday 29th March, 1pm - 4pm for a relaxed Easter Floral Workshop & Afternoon Tea.
Hosted by Miranda from Flutterby, this creative spring afternoon invites you to design your own Easter floral basket using fresh, seasonal blooms - perfect for your home or as a thoughtful gift.
Once your arrangement is complete, settle in for a classic Afternoon Tea to round off the occasion.
£60 per person - Includes floral workshop, Afternoon Tea and your Easter basket to take home.
Easter Egg Hunt
Add a little adventure to the Easter weekend at The Alfriston with our Easter Egg Hunt, running from Good Friday to Easter Monday (3rd - 6th April).
Little explorers can collect their bunny ears and treasure map from reception before setting off around the hotel and grounds in search of hidden bunnies. Each discovery earns a stamp - and once their map is complete, they can return to reception to claim a well-earned chocolate egg.
A joyful activity for families staying with us or visiting the village over the Easter holidays, the hunt runs daily from 11am - 3pm and is suitable for children accompanied by a parent or guardian. £4 per child.
Easter Stays
Easter is not about rushing from one thing to the next. It’s about late check-ins, unhurried mornings and the sort of countryside quiet that makes you realise how much noise you’ve been carrying.
Arrive to a warm welcome, settle into one of our characterful rooms and let the village set the pace. Spend your days walking the South Downs, exploring Alfriston’s historic streets or simply reading by the window with a cup of tea in hand. In the evening, join us downstairs for seasonal dining before retreating back upstairs to comfort and stillness.
Wake slowly the next morning to breakfast cooked to order - no alarms, no agenda, nowhere you have to be.
Easter stays are available across the Easter period and can be tailored to however long you’d like to linger.
Easter Dining
Easter calls for generous plates and tables filled with conversation. Join us for relaxed lunches and comforting suppers, with seasonal ingredients at the heart of every dish.
Expect traditional Easter favourites alongside our spring à la carte - best enjoyed with good company and something chilled in your glass.
Easter Sunday is always a special one here. Gather friends and family, settle in, and let us take care of the rest.
No overnight stay required.
Slow Mornings & Spa Time
If your idea of Easter leans more towards calm than celebration, The Alfriston Spa offers a quieter kind of indulgence.
Book a treatment, enjoy a spa day, or simply carve out an hour to yourself. Thoughtful treatments, soothing spaces and an atmosphere designed for deep exhale - it’s the perfect counterbalance to busy weeks and full diaries.
Pair your spa visit with lunch, extend it into an overnight stay, or simply come for the treatment and return home feeling lighter than when you arrived.
