Half House Farm

Bowler Crab's outdoor venue is located amid sixteen acres of lakes, woodland and open grassland in Three Oaks, a small village in the heart of East Sussex.
A fine example of a Sixteenth Century venacular Yeoman Farmhouse, the house was built in 1575, eleven years after Shakespeare's birth (1564). To this day, the grade two listed Half House still bears its original name.
