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.
We are proud to announce we have been awarded with the 2024 Commercial Award for our Cart Barn conversion. If you are considering an award winning stay, please get in touch!
With over a decade of experience our dedicated team at Hendall have compiled some ideas to help you as you begin to plan your special day.
At Hendall Manor Barns we recognise how important the right venue is for creating that perfect wedding; with that in mind, we have come up with a few ideas that showcase the advantages of booking a winter wedding at Hendall.
On the 25th October Ellie & Scott got married here with around 70 guests and wanted a relaxed barn wedding from the start.
“Hendall ended up being the only venue we even looked at. By the time we were driving up the lane to leave, we had agreed that it was the perfect option. Even when we were shown around the very first time, before we had made many decisions about the wedding, I could imagine us getting married there.”
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 […]
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.
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.

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!

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
Pink Prosecco has been making waves in the wine industry lately, and for good reason. This delicious and refreshing wine is a perfect choice for any occasion, from a casual brunch or a hen party, to a wedding! Here’s everything you need to know about it:
Perfect, peaceful break in beautiful surroundings. Nicola and Peter were friendly, welcoming & responsive while at the same time unobtrusive – for a secluded stay. Welcomed with a quick property tour to find our bearings (& the all important pool)!
Local info / maps provided inside property. I particularly loved the history provided, clearly well researched & interesting!
The property & surrounding areas are beautifully maintained with modern, colourful yet cozy decor. The open plan space made a small barn feel more than big enough for us, as a couple.
Barn was clean with everything you need. The bath was lovely & deep plus a great rainfall shower! The bed & sofa are super comfy (v.important)!
We were just at the end of swimming pool season, so got to enjoy a brisk morning swim, just a short walk from the barn.
Surrounded by the gorgeous Weald countryside / woodland literally on the doorstep! To top it off we also got a morning visit from the dogs, which made our day! Thank you!

For many brides, planning a wedding is undoubtedly filled with lots of decision making. We couldn’t resist the opportunity to write a fun and frivolous post, all about…yup… wedding shoes!
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.
Here at Hendall Manor Barns we are all about individuality, so we were thrilled to host a styled shoot to be featured on Festival Brides website, supporting all things quirky & colourful!
A HUGE thank you to Nicola, Peter and Viki for all their hard work both during the wedding day and the planning/lead up.
Right from our very first contact with Nicola we were impressed by the way she worked and particularly liked that she had clear boundaries of what they do and don’t offer/recommend as this can really help with the overwhelming amount of decisions that there are to be made around organising weddings.
The shared spreadsheet was also a really helpful way to keep track everything decided/discussed in the in person meetings and via email.
The day could not have run smoother and we felt completely relaxed throughout the day knowing that were anything to happen Nicola was on hand to manage it.
The venue itself is gorgeous! The main Barn is beautifully designed and decorated without being too specific so you can still add your own touch to the space, the gardens are immaculately kept by Peter (not a blade of grass out of place) and the guest accommodation was equally stunning.
If you are thinking of having your wedding in Sussex I could not recommend Hendall Manor Barns more highly!

We had a fantastic family weekend at the beautiful stone barn. It was a great stay for relaxing, exploring and enjoying the countryside. The tennis court, pool table and table tennis provided plenty of entertainment, and the house had plenty of room for everyone, including a high chair and travel cot which were a nice touch for us. Nicola was a friendly and accommodating host, on hand whenever needed but we felt we had our own space.
Thank you for a lovely time!

Dear Nicola & Peter
Just to say thank you again for the loan of your barn for our wedding favour photoshoot.
It is a beautiful venue and the images have come out fantastically well.
Your generosity will really help to give hope to people living with dementia now and in the future.
