Eddie Redmayne was recently spotted at local luxury hotel, Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa. He was in the area to film scenes as Stephen Hawking in the upcoming film Theory of Everything, a biopic of the remarkable physicist which is set to be directed by Oscar-winning director James Marsh. 

During his stay Mr Redmayne was in good company. Also spotted at the hotel were Charlie Cox, best known for his leading role in Stardust, and British actress Felicity Jones. Mr Redmayne stayed in one of the six suites in the contemporary spa, which opened in January 2012 in the Elizabethan manor’s 19th century walled garden. 

Ockenden Manor is surrounded by nine acres of peaceful gardens and parkland. The hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant menu uses the freshest ingredients, sourced locally in Sussex.
