Rockwater is guardian to some of the best views of the beachfront, offering a beautiful location to accommodate different styles of events for any occasion.
Our dedicated Events team are here to work with you to curate and design your event incorporating bespoke requirements to ensure a memorable experience.
Our Roof Terrace and Pub are available for private hire throughout the year for both exclusive and semi-exclusive use.
The Roof Terrace is a versatile, design-led event space that adapts effortlessly to the seasons, offering a seamless blend of indoor comfort and coastal atmosphere. In warmer months, the fully retractable roof opens to blue skies and sea air, while in cooler weather the space becomes fully enclosed and heated, with a central log burner and soft lighting creating a warm, inviting ambience. Throughout the year, the private balcony provides uninterrupted views across Hove seafront and a refreshing outdoor escape.
With a flexible layout, the Roof Terrace can be styled for elegant seated dinners, relaxed social gatherings, or standout celebrations. Light-filled, atmospheric, and effortlessly stylish, it’s an ideal setting for exclusive private events that feel refined, memorable, and unmistakably coastal.

The Pub
In summer, The Pub opens out onto the lawns and patio, giving your guests space to spill into the sunshine with a drink in hand. It’s ideal for birthdays, engagement parties, team socials or just an excuse to gather everyone in one place. Start with relaxed afternoon drinks, add games on the grass, let the music build and before you know it, the evening has taken on a life of its own.
When winter sets in, the mood shifts but the energy stays. The log burner flickers at the heart of the room, lights glow softly overhead, and the space becomes warm, intimate and quietly electric. It’s perfect for festive parties, milestone celebrations, or end-of-year gatherings that deserve more.
The layout is completely flexible, so you can shape the space around your event. Keep it open for dancing and mingling, create relaxed lounge corners for conversation, or blend the two for something that feels natural and unforced. A private bar keeps everything flowing smoothly, while the dartboard, pool table and screens add that extra layer of fun.
However you choose to use it, The Pub is designed for good times — a sociable, characterful space that feels personal, relaxed and entirely yours for the night.
