About us,

Heckfield is a living place: a Georgian family home lovingly restored to its classic origins and rewoven into 400-acres of Hampshire. Elegantly evolving, resolutely natural, we’re a beautiful piece of English history that redefines the idea of a hotel. We springboard from a storied past, celebrating the slow-and-simple now: a country haven — less than an hour from London — sculpted over centuries by ancient heather, woodland and meadow.

What we are looking for

As our Experience Lead you'll be the driving force behind the successful development of guest experiences throughout the estate to life for our guests, connecting the House, Home Farm, Culinary, The Bothy, Grounds and Events into one seamless and distinctive guest journey. Part curator, part producer and part host, they lead the development of Heckfield's Experiences proposition, ensuring every stay feels rich with possibility, discovery and connection. Working across the estate, they create experiences that are authentically Heckfield, continually evolving the programme to remain relevant, distinctive and commercially successful.
