The stylish and welcoming spaces here offer guests a memorable dining experience that'll have you going back for more! There are a wealth of dining options such as lunch and afternoon tea, including a range of food and wine pairings featuring wines from Benguela Cover Lagoon Wine Estate in South Africa, which I can highly recommend.

Penny Streeter OBE is the owner of the Benguela Collection wine and hospitatlity group, which includes Mannings Heath Estate and nearby Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens, as well as the Benguela Cover vineyards. "The new Wine Lounge is the cellar door of the award-winning Benguela Cove wines," says Barry Anderson, estate managing director. Indeed, the wine theme has been carried throughout the new dining areas, which cater to a range of events including hen parties and intimate weddings. The Wine Lounge can accommodate 24 guests, while the Vineyard Kitchen Restaurant seats up to 50, with comfortable sofa seating available in both areas.

With an oh-so modern palette of soft sage green, these spaces also feature subtle nods to the property's heritage via the fittings and features. Combined with the ample outdoor space and breathtaking views, this is the perfect spot to celebrate any event, from raising a glass to the arrival of the weekend to gathering for your nuptials.

The venue will be hosting a wedding showcase open day on Sunday 1st October, 2023. So, keep your eyes on the website for further details to be released nearer the time: www.manningsheath.com

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.
