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 couldn’t be happier with our choice of Hendall Manor for our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely stunning – elegant, versatile, and filled with charm – it truly created the perfect setting for our special day. From the very beginning, Viki and Nicola were incredible. Their support, guidance, and attention to detail made the whole planning process so smooth and stress-free. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt in safe hands.
On the day, everything ran flawlessly thanks to their hard work and care behind the scenes. Our guests were blown away by the venue, and we honestly couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate. Hendall Manor will always hold such a special place in our hearts, and we are so grateful to Vicky and Nicola for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.

The Cart barn was a beautiful place to stay set in a stunning location with amazing walks right on your door step. Nicola was welcoming and friendly and met us when we arrived. The interior of the barn was beautiful and a lovely place to relax in the evenings. It was east to find and away from main roads so at night it was wonderfully quiet and dark so we could see the stars!
Our dog loved it, particularly the stock of rabbits in the orchard that he failed to catch despite valiant efforts!
Loved this place and will book again!

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!

We celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary at Hendall Manor Barns in September 2024.
From start to finish all was perfection and we had the most wonderful, memorable day.
Nicola, Peter and Viki, were charming and could not have been more helpful. At the initial meeting with Nicola and Viki, they went through every detail of what we might like to consider from the layout of the tables to flowers to photographer, etc., etc. including a substantial list of recommended caterers. We chose Elliott Catering and were blessed with Lisa who was equally delightful, helpful and organised.
Hendall Manor Barns are set in beautiful countryside, between Crowborough and Uckfield, at the end of a long driveway. The buildings themselves are attractive, stone construction making a lovely light and airy venue. There is a pleasant terrace and inner courtyard for guests wishing to take a break or enjoy drinks before or after the main event. There is ample parking, under cover and close to the venue.
Our guests wrote afterwards to say what a wonderful day it had been, how much they enjoyed themselves and are still mentioning it nearly six months later! Several guests who live locally, commented that they were unaware such a charming and delightful spot existed and they would definitely bear it in mind for a future occasion. There was also high praise for Lisa and her catering team.
The care and consideration that was shown to us from start to finish was faultless. We cannot recommend Nicola and Peter highly enough. It was like a second wedding reception without the nerves.
Thank you!

A truly beautiful venue in gorgeous surroundings! Loved that we had scope to put completely our own stamp on our day but also with great guidance throughout. All of the recommended suppliers were excellent and we always felt reassured that Nicola & team were on top of things. We had such a perfect day – cannot thank you enough!
Thank you so much!

Last Christmas!
That’s exactly the question Vicky & Steve were faced with earlier this year. As the Government announced an easing on wedding restrictions to allow up to 30 attendees, many couples were faced with this daunting decision. Should they have a Sussex barn small wedding?
Can’t thank Viki, Nicola and Peter enough. Our wedding was unforgettable thanks to them! They’re so organised and true experts at what they do. The venue itself is beautiful and the accommodation on site is perfect, it made our wedding all the more special! Thank you so much

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!
We were delighted to host Ceinwen and David’s Wedding here at the beginning of September and hope that couples can gain inspiration from the photographs of their day.
