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.
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 stayed in the big barn the night before and the newly renovated 1-bed barn the night of the wedding. Both are so lovely and would go back and stay there outside of the wedding! Thank you so much for making it more special than we could have ever imagined! It poured with rain for most of the day but it was still the most magical and incredible day in the absolutely beautiful barn. Nicola and Peter, alongside Amuse catering, made sure everything ran so smoothly.

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
When it comes to a Summer Countryside wedding that effortlessly blends meaningful details, timeless elegance, and heart warming personal touches, Lauren and Liam’s special day at Hendall Manor Barns is one we’ll remember for a long time. Their celebration was a beautiful reflection of their story, their values, and their deep connection to the Sussex countryside.
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 […]
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.

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!

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 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
Lovely brand new converted barn. Great amenities, great countryside location – shops and country pubs only a few miles away. Nicola and Peter were super friendly and welcoming. We wished we had found this place earlier during our stay in England.

We had our wedding at Hendall last weekend. Nicola, Peter & Viki were fantastic from the start of the booking process 2 years ago! Very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The venue speaks for itself, it is absolutely beautiful & I’m so glad we chose it for our day! There are plenty of great photo opportunities within the grounds of Hendall too. 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!
