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!

Here at Hendall Manor Barns we are all about individuality, so we were thrilled to host a styled shoot to be featured on Festival Brides website, supporting all things quirky & colourful!
Wedding food choices and ways of serving food at events are constantly changing. With differing trends making a seemingly sudden appearance, wedding evening reception food ideas are certainly food options that most people look forward to during the evening’s festivities. So here are some ideas for you to look through and really whet the appetite!
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 booked a stay at The Granary for 2 nights over New Year. We were 3 couples with 2 dogs. The converted medieval barn was beautifully and sympathetically converted to a high standard. Lots of character and very nicely styled.
The beds were very comfortable and there was underfloor heating, so nice and cosy. We particularly enjoyed the snooker and table tennis which was a bonus, given the dreadful weather!! Lovely walks from the doorstep.
The host was very kind allowing us to get into the property early and to check out a little later.
If you were to book over the Summer, you may also have use of the swimming pool and tennis court. A lovely stay.
Thank you!!

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
Perfect, peaceful break in beautiful surroundings. Nicola and Peter were friendly, welcoming & responsive while at the same time unobtrusive – for a secluded stay. Welcomed with a quick property tour to find our bearings (& the all important pool)!
Local info / maps provided inside property. I particularly loved the history provided, clearly well researched & interesting!
The property & surrounding areas are beautifully maintained with modern, colourful yet cozy decor. The open plan space made a small barn feel more than big enough for us, as a couple.
Barn was clean with everything you need. The bath was lovely & deep plus a great rainfall shower! The bed & sofa are super comfy (v.important)!
We were just at the end of swimming pool season, so got to enjoy a brisk morning swim, just a short walk from the barn.
Surrounded by the gorgeous Weald countryside / woodland literally on the doorstep! To top it off we also got a morning visit from the dogs, which made our day! Thank you!

We have so many unique weddings at Hendall I am pleased to say this puts us in the enviable position of having a wealth of wonderful weddings to showcase! We hope that you can take inspiration from Freya and Ben’s day for your own Sussex countryside wedding at Hendall.
In the Summer months, there is shared access to our private pool and tennis court (rackets and balls not included). There is also a lovely outside seating area overlooking paddocks with horses and beautiful countryside.
Due to restrictions Alice and Will’s April wedding was moved and their wedding finally took place in August 2021, showcasing some stunning bright and beautiful blooms.
Tucked away down a country lane, Hendall Manor is surrounded by a plethora of beautiful, historical buildings two of which are dedicated to onsite accommodation. If you love the idea of your wedding party being able to stay with you, the night before and on the day of your wedding, look no further than Hendall.
Barns are so versatile and can be ‘dressed’ in so many unique and different ways that they offer great scope for creativity and design… so, why have a barn wedding?
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.
