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.
What an amazing place to stay! My partner, my dog and I had the BEST New Year’s Eve break at the Cart Barn.
Nicola and Peter are amazing hosts, happy to answer any questions you have – nothing is too much trouble. Inside the barn it is beautifully decorated and furnished and it has everything you need, from cooking utensils to toiletries and maps of the local area. You are surrounded by gorgeous fields and wildlife, there are multiple walking trails in each direction and you are right on the edge of Ashdown Forest.
The area is really peaceful and quiet, perfect for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. There are 2 pubs close by, both in walking distance through fields and woodlands, that serve delicious food and drinks too.
We are already planning our return and have recommended the Cart Barn to friends and family. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Dear Nicky and Peter,
Just a short note to say thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful premises for my mothers wake and for the friendly and professional way we were treated. I am so envious that you have such a lovely place and its a credit to you that you have made a wonderful job of renovating the venue. Mum would have been thrilled by the location (and by Janes food) to complete the emotional day. I hope our paths cross in the future.
All best wishes
Nigel Silveston

We and our guests had a lovely day and quite honestly would recommend Hendall to anyone who wants a beautiful setting at any time of the year to have any type of celebration. Being able to stay on-site made it even easier! Couldn’t have gone any better, we had all we wanted and more and look forward to celebrating again on an anniversary down the line

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.

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.
