“What a brilliant, beautiful barn!
It was perfect. A stylishly and sensitively converted barn balancing old and new nestled in the stunning Sussex countryside.
I went to focus on work for a few days and the combination of fast/reliable WiFi and countless walks from the front door to clear my head, were a winning combination. Oh, and then throw in some fab local pubs!
Will definitely be returning – 5*+++”

I wanted to just get in touch to say a massive thank you for the use of Hendall Manor Barns and all your help and kindness shown over mums funeral.
The Manor was a wonderful setting for it to be held, and many guests commented on how lovely it was, people often saying that it was the perfect place to honour mum in.
Thank you for all your time and care on this.
Kind regards

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
When it comes to a Summer Countryside wedding that effortlessly blends meaningful details, timeless elegance, and heart warming personal touches, Lauren and Liam’s special day at Hendall Manor Barns is one we’ll remember for a long time. Their celebration was a beautiful reflection of their story, their values, and their deep connection to the Sussex countryside.
In the Summer months, there is shared access to our private pool and tennis court (rackets and balls not included). There is also a lovely outside seating area overlooking paddocks with horses and beautiful countryside.
We are always surprised how many couples aren’t sure if they want a wedding videographer when we first talk to them about their day. With that in mind, we thought we would list the advantages of hiring a videographer to capture your day that you can treasure forever.
From the moment we discovered Hendall, we knew it was where we were going to get married, we didn’t even consider anywhere else.
Right from our first conversations through to the big day, the communication from the team was exceptional. Every question was answered, and all the little details were remembered, making us feel completely supported throughout the entire planning process. Nicola, Peter, and Viki genuinely had our best interests at heart, and they made the entire journey of planning our wedding not only easy but truly enjoyable.
The day before the wedding, the team were fantastic during the setup. They knew exactly what needed to be done, which took all the stress away and allowed us to simply enjoy the excitement.
On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly thanks to the incredible coordination and teamwork. The grounds looked stunning, and Nicola was there every step of the way to ensure everything flowed perfectly. It felt like more than just a venue, we were truly cared for, and we could relax knowing the day was in expert hands.
Nicola went above and beyond from making sure everyone was where they needed to be, to helping with the buttonholes, and even assisting me into the car in my dress. Thank you so much.
We can’t thank the Hendall team enough for giving us such an unforgettable day. This venue is so much more than beautiful, it has a wonderful charm where we have now created the most unforgettable memories.

Many couples are planning a future English Summer wedding and we know that the majority of our prospective couples have dreamy plans of an English summer wedding day, where their guests can bathe in the glorious summer sunshine, where a gentle breeze helps to cool everyone, glasses of Pimms and Fizz are on hand and […]
Me and my family had a great stay over the Christmas period. Nicola was a great host and very responsive even over Xmas.
I would love to visit again some time.

We celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary at Hendall Manor Barns in September 2024.
From start to finish all was perfection and we had the most wonderful, memorable day.
Nicola, Peter and Viki, were charming and could not have been more helpful. At the initial meeting with Nicola and Viki, they went through every detail of what we might like to consider from the layout of the tables to flowers to photographer, etc., etc. including a substantial list of recommended caterers. We chose Elliott Catering and were blessed with Lisa who was equally delightful, helpful and organised.
Hendall Manor Barns are set in beautiful countryside, between Crowborough and Uckfield, at the end of a long driveway. The buildings themselves are attractive, stone construction making a lovely light and airy venue. There is a pleasant terrace and inner courtyard for guests wishing to take a break or enjoy drinks before or after the main event. There is ample parking, under cover and close to the venue.
Our guests wrote afterwards to say what a wonderful day it had been, how much they enjoyed themselves and are still mentioning it nearly six months later! Several guests who live locally, commented that they were unaware such a charming and delightful spot existed and they would definitely bear it in mind for a future occasion. There was also high praise for Lisa and her catering team.
The care and consideration that was shown to us from start to finish was faultless. We cannot recommend Nicola and Peter highly enough. It was like a second wedding reception without the nerves.
Thank you!
