Our Sustainability Commitments

Alfriston Gardens is committed to protecting the surrounding East Sussex landscape. Sustainable initiatives include low-level outdoor lighting to preserve the South Downs’ status as an International Dark Sky Reserve. During development, measures were taken to protect local wildlife, including newt-fencing for the endangered Greater Crested Newt and installing bat and bird boxes. A hibernaculum and a living roof on Vine Lodge further support biodiversity. Thoughtful planting throughout the gardens provides vital habitats for bees, butterflies, and other species, earning the venue the National LIS Award for Best Development in 2023.
