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.
Two converted barns provide versatile accommodation depending on your requirements. A spacious, three bedroom converted Old Granary for up to 8 and The Cart Barn, recently renovated for 2.
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.
It was a pleasure to photograph at Hendall! They were so understanding and thoughtful in the way they treated the couple and me throughout the whole day. Beautiful venue and wonderful staff, I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Molly & I are so extremely grateful for everything you’ve done which has helped gift us with the best wedding day. Our favourite position generally being background characters in events, we were approaching the day with a bit of anxiety and stress about all the attention and business of the day, however, we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Everything ran so smoothly, the food was delicious, the waiters and helpers were wonderful and the venue provoked a lot of amazing feedback. Everyone absolutely loved the day.
Once again, thank you for all you have done, your venue is amazing, we had a gorgeous day with gorgeous weather (somehow!!) and it was such a pleasure to get to know Peter & Nicola and the whole team at Hendall.

What an absolutely beautiful and amazing barn. My friends and I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would recommend it. The weather was great, the pool was pure tranquillity and the whole estate was absolutely stunning. We could have stayed for a lot longer and I plan on returning with my family next year! Thanks, Nicola and family for opening up your estate/barn to us and giving us a very warm welcome.
If I could rate it more than five stars I would!

Some places simply leave a lasting impression — and this was one of them.
From the moment we arrived at Hendall Manor Barns, the breathtaking landscape set the tone for what turned out to be a truly special weekend. The accommodation was stunning, spacious, and thoughtfully prepared with everything we could possibly need.
Nicola and Peter were the most wonderful hosts — warm, welcoming, and incredibly kind. Their willingness to accommodate our two poorly dogs at very short notice meant more to us than they will ever know.
The wedding itself was perfect in every way. The venue was beautiful, the food exceptional, and the staff attentive and professional throughout. It was a weekend full of joy, comfort, and care — one we will always remember.

Taking out wedding insurance, as with anything valuable, be it sentimentally, financially or just for the peace of mind knowing you have insurance can bring, is something we insist all our couples take out, regardless of your date, budgets or ideas.
The Cart Barn is lovely. It’s perfect for a private, peaceful few days away. Pristine inside and comfortable. There’s a good-sized swimming pool to cap it off! The owners were very helpful. Will definitely book again.

There are so many things to consider when choosing the perfect wedding venue, in fact it can be thoroughly overwhelming. Read why Nicky & Ben chose to hold their wedding here at Hendall, a Sussex Barn Venue which will hopefully help you decide that Hendall Manor Barns could be for you.
That’s exactly the question Vicky & Steve were faced with earlier this year. As the Government announced an easing on wedding restrictions to allow up to 30 attendees, many couples were faced with this daunting decision. Should they have a Sussex barn small wedding?
