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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day on the 10th June 2026 and honestly couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. The venue exceeded all of our expectations and provided the perfect setting for such a special occasion.
A huge thank you to Viki, Nicola & Peter who were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, helping us with all the little details, including deciding where decorations should go, which made the whole planning process so much easier and less stressful.
We also stayed in the Cart Barn accommodation, which was incredibly comfortable, spacious, and perfectly suited to our needs. It was wonderful to have such a relaxing and well-equipped place to stay before and after the wedding.
Thank you to everyone involved for helping create memories that we will cherish forever. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful wedding location with exceptional support and service.

We wanted to take the time to say the biggest of thank yous to yourself, Viki and Peter. Together, you really made our day the smoothest, happiest and most beautiful day it could have possibly been. Everything ran unbelievably smoothly and we did not have to worry about a thing. We also just wanted to say thank you for your calm manner and fast actions when Grandma was taken ill.
We have had so many messages from family and friends about how beautiful and perfectly suited Hendall was and – although no sausages were buried the night before(!) – the weather absolutely came up trumps for us!
The whole process from start to finish with yourselves has been thoroughly enjoyable and memorable. We’re so grateful for all the communication and all the hard work that went into the planning, lead up and the day and if we could do it all again we would 😂!
Everything was just wonderful.

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
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.

Planning for your special day can be so much fun. It is an opportunity to spend time in a stunning location, buy the outfits and shoes you have never before dared spend so much money on and spend time looking for those small touches that will put a smile on all your guests faces. That is exactly what our couple did when planning their Hendall Manor Barns Wedding!
Hendall Manor Barns and Charleigh Victoria Photography are the duo you never knew you needed on your wedding day, they’re just incredible! I could not recommend either enough, the compliments we’ve had on our wedding will stay with me forever.

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.
