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!

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.
This is an absolutely lovely place to spend a weekend (or longer)! The space is bright, airy and perfectly equipped. The bed is super comfy and huge, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook if you want to do so. One of the nicest dog-friendly places we’ve ever stayed with an enclosed orchard just behind the barn. The shower is amazing and plenty of space to eat and relax with the Smart TV. Highly recommend this place to stay.

I just wanted to say what a wonderful time we’ve had here. Such a recharge for our batteries in a beautiful tranquil environment. An exceptional stay in your barn with such interesting and rich history. We had fantastic walk to down the Millennium and Weald Way ending up in The Foresters. We have one very tired doggy and two very happy souls. Thanks ever so much for letting us be part of your fabulous setting.

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.
Warm regards

Wonderful property in a fantastic location. Nicola was a great host and very responsive. We enjoyed playing snooker, table tennis, tennis and the swimming pool. Lovely walks and pubs in the vicinity.
Thanks Nicola, we had a wonderful weekend!

Choosing Hendall Manor Barns for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the one — we didn’t even need to look anywhere else. The mix of beautiful old architecture, soft light, and modern touches gave it such a special atmosphere that felt completely us.
Nicola, Peter, and Viki were incredible from start to finish. Their warmth, care, and attention to detail made us feel so supported throughout the whole process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we knew our day was in the best hands possible.
The grounds are breathtaking — every corner feels like it’s made for photos — and they gave us the most magical backdrop to remember our day by.
We also loved the recommended supplier list; it made planning so much easier and introduced us to some truly amazing people who helped bring our vision to life.

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!

We love the variety of working with a plethora of great suppliers here at Hendall so were delighted when Gillian and Laura from Sussex Celebrants contacted us to say they had written a blog all about Hendall.
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.

We had our wedding breakfast and evening disco at Hendall Manor in August this year. It was a stunning venue and my husband and I fell in love with it, from the moment we stepped in the door. The service was excellent and we had the confidence knowing our wishes were carried out to the letter. We had such an amazing celebration and so many compliments on the venue from family and friends. I would highly recommend Hendall Manor for your special day. You will have a day to remember for the rest of your lives.
Helen & David
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!
