Quality, local food and drink at fair prices.

Free camping, parking, and entry for children 12 and under.

Join Us for the Ultimate Summer Garden Party in September


Celebrate the end of summer with us at Harley House Distillery this September for our late 'Summer Garden Party'. This year, we’re again fundraising for the Newhaven Lifeboat charity, supporting their essential work in our community.


Enjoy live music, delicious cocktails, and of course, our award-winning gin and rum. Nibble on tasty treats as you soak in the festive atmosphere. Last year's event was a blast, and we're excited to make this year's party even better!


Full details of what to expect and tickets are now on our 'Events' page on our website.


Last year many local businesses helped us with sponsorship for our event, and this year we hope will be no exception, with a raffle and more live music from local musicians. So if you have a local business in the Seaford area, and would like to help us by donating a raffle prize or helping with sponsorship, maybe by donating some food or cakes, we would be most appreciative! We would, of course, mention you in all of our social media leading up to and after our party. Please contact us if can help.


We will of course be serving drinks from our bar. We will be serving from our whole range of Gins, Rums, Liqueurs, and Vodka. There will also be soft drinks available, and some summery cocktails. There will also be a small buffet and nibbles available.


Unfortunately, we do not have any parking space at the distillery, but many of you will know that we are central to Seaford and only a few minutes walk from the town centre. There is also a bus stop almost right outside our distillery.
