Lovingly restored, Hendall Manor Barns is a very beautiful, private, wedding and events venue in the heart of the East Sussex countryside.
Our glorious split-level Stone Barn is very adaptable for weddings and receptions of varying sizes, including small & intimate, as well as formal dining, ceremonies and dancing.

Hendall provides a considerable space both within and directly outside that is full of character, that can be adapted for a multitude of different uses.
The Venue here at Hendall Manor Barns consists of three interconnecting buildings (The Stone Barn, The Old Dairy and a caterer’s kitchen in the former Calf Pens) surrounding a sizeable central courtyard with a lawn and a raised terrace.
The Stone Barn is an impressive building, almost 100ft in length and is arranged on two distinct levels connected by steps and a ramp.
The Old Dairy, formerly the old milking parlour offers a flexible and comfortable conference/studio room.

Planning a Wedding with your beloved pet?
Whether it’s a dog carrying the rings, a horse roaming the fields with you, or even a cherished photo of a pet who couldn’t be there, these moments remind us that family comes in many forms and love, loyalty, and companionship don’t always walk on two legs.
Hendall Manor Barns is a place where families can celebrate together, without compromise.
Laura and Adam’s beautiful wedding is the perfect example of how a day can be both effortlessly stylish and completely family-friendly.
We are incredibly grateful to all our couples that take the time to write about their experiences with us. We love working with couples to deliver their dream day and we hope their experiences will give you an idea about what to expect.
Nicola, Peter (NP, we named them ‘no problem’ as they could sort anything and everything!) and Viki were brilliant in making our day run like clockwork, guiding us through the process to make sure it was organised, fun and individual, just what we wanted. Having such fantastic accommodation on site was also a really bonus.
Thank you Hendall Manor Barns for being such a stunning backdrop and hosting a really magical day.

On behalf of WSCP and all the members that attended yesterday; A really big thank you. Everyone left smiling and happy; the comments on your wonderful hall were all very complimentary. Most did not know Hendall existed. I too offer my sincere thanks to you and your team for making every person feel welcome and relaxed. You, together with Martin and his team made the afternoon special for many of my members. Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team and hopefully, we will see you again.

Just a little note to say what a fabulous day we had at Ellie & Scott’s wedding last week. The venue is a great with plenty of space to chat, dance eat and relax.
Most of all though the staff were all fabulous, happy, smiley, friendly and courteous they couldn’t do enough to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves.

After viewing Hendall Manor Barns and meeting Viki, Nicola and Peter we knew we were in safe hands when it came to our wedding day. We immediately fell in love with the beautiful venue and associated accommodation. It was also comforting having Hendall’s expertise, along approved list of quality suppliers, ensuring everything went to smoothly.
Overall, we had the perfect wedding day and we can be certain it wouldn’t have been the same if it were anywhere else!
Meg and Arran
We stayed in the big barn the night before and the newly renovated 1 bed, cart barn the night of the wedding. Both are so lovely and would go back and stay there outside of the wedding! Thank you so much for making it more special than we could have ever have imagined!
Isabel and Tom
We had our wedding at Hendall last weekend. Nicola, Peter & Viki were fantastic from the start of the booking process 2 years ago! Very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The venue speaks for itself, it is absolutely beautiful & I’m so glad we chose it for our day! There are plenty of great photo opportunities within the grounds of Hendall too. We booked the accommodation – the old granary and the cart barn which were equally wonderful. It made the day even more special, knowing that we would be staying at Hendall with our nearest and dearest the night before and the night of the wedding! Highly recommend Hendall for your day. We will absolutely come back to stay in the cart barn again!
Lianne & Nick
Stayed here with three couples and three babies. The place is beautiful and big with lots of things to keep you entertained in the house – we particularly enjoyed the table tennis and pool tables! Nicola was an incredibly helpful host with good recommendations for local pubs with great food (would definitely recommend The Hurstwood pub).
Would come back to stay again!
Katie
Once again a huge thank you from Cheryl and me to you, Peter and all your team for helping to make Olivia and Alex’s wedding such a wonderful occasion. It was a truly memorable day. You have a lovely wedding venue and the on-site accommodation worked so well for us.
