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 had our wedding at Hendall Manor barns in June 2023. Hendall was the first venue we visited and we knew we didn’t need to look anywhere else. Nicola and Peter have created the most stunning venue – immaculate and beautifully restored – it is the most perfect, breath-taking place that also feels so relaxed and welcoming.

Firstly, thank you all so much for everything….. Jessica and I had the most amazing wedding at your wonderful home.
You even arranged the sunshine…. Above and beyond.
You made our day so special, coordinated us, encouraged us to be where we were supposed to be…. Organised us, with such efficiency (anyone would think that you’d done it a few times before), which really enhanced our time, and allowed us to relax in Hendalls’ safe hands…. Thank you so very much.
All our Friends & Family, thought the venue was just perfect, and we were so pleased that we chose Hendall…. The best choice we could have made… It was so “right” for us.
Food Glorious Food were amazing and truly enhanced our day. I’ll be writing to Julia and her professional team, separately.
Everything was just perfect, even our choice to use East Sussex DJ’s & the Photo booth.
Many thanks again

Nicola was very welcoming along with her dogs.
10/10 would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

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.”
Georgie and Ross had to postpone their wedding several times due to Covid but finally on a sunny day in October 2021 they were third time lucky! It was an absolutely beautiful October wedding.
With Halloween just around the corner, discover how one couple created a magical Halloween celebration here at Hendall. Dog-friendly, full of opportunities for personal touches, and truly perfect for couples wanting to put their own stamp on their day.
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.

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?
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.
Hendall is such a beautiful place to be even in early April! We always had Hendall in our minds for our special day and although ours wasn’t your typical ‘Wedding’ day and with only 4 months to organise everything as we had a particular date in mind, you all helped make it easy. We even managed to get the BBQ done outside at the beginning of April against all the odds!
Suzanne and Alex
We both wanted to say a massive thank you for everything over the past 2 days! The old granary and cart barn are gorgeous and was such a nice place to get ready and stay!
And of course, yesterday was perfect! It exceeded all expectations and was a dream come true! We are so glad we chose you to make our vision come to life and loved the relaxed feel of the day 🥰
