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 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.
What an absolutely beautiful and amazing barn. Myself and friends had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would recommend. The weather was great, the pool was pure tranquility and the whole estate was absolutely stunning. We could have stayed for a lot longer and I plan on returning with my family next year!
Thanks Nicola and family for opening up your estate/barn to us and giving us a very warm welcome.
If I could rate it more than five stars I would.

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!

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

From the moment we discovered Hendall, we knew it was where we were going to get married, we didn’t even consider anywhere else.
Right from our first conversations through to the big day, the communication from the team was exceptional. Every question was answered, and all the little details were remembered, making us feel completely supported throughout the entire planning process. Nicola, Peter, and Viki genuinely had our best interests at heart, and they made the entire journey of planning our wedding not only easy but truly enjoyable.
The day before the wedding, the team were fantastic during the setup. They knew exactly what needed to be done, which took all the stress away and allowed us to simply enjoy the excitement.
On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly thanks to the incredible coordination and teamwork. The grounds looked stunning, and Nicola was there every step of the way to ensure everything flowed perfectly. It felt like more than just a venue, we were truly cared for, and we could relax knowing the day was in expert hands.
Nicola went above and beyond from making sure everyone was where they needed to be, to helping with the buttonholes, and even assisting me into the car in my dress. Thank you so much.
We can’t thank the Hendall team enough for giving us such an unforgettable day. This venue is so much more than beautiful, it has a wonderful charm where we have now created the most unforgettable memories.

The Cart Barn is lovely. It’s perfect for a private, peaceful few days away. Pristine inside and comfortable. There’s a good-sized swimming pool to cap it off! The owners were very helpful. Will definitely book again.

Laura and Adam’s beautiful wedding is the perfect example of how a day can be both effortlessly stylish and completely family-friendly.
The moment we viewed Hendall Manor Barns we knew we wanted to get married there and didn’t worry about looking anywhere else. The reviews on their website of previous couples said exactly the same and we could see why.
The venue is absolutely stunning. The grounds are beautiful and the barn is fantastic.
We hired both the accommodation barns and arrived the afternoon before with some of our wedding party and family which just made it perfect.
From the first meeting with Nicola and Peter, we knew that we would be in good hands and we certainly were. Viki was also brilliant at getting back to us with numerous silly questions via emails.
Using suppliers from their recommended list makes choosing so easy and again reassuring because they know the venue already. This helped make the organising much easier.
We can’t rave about this venue enough! We had so many lovely comments from our guests and we were on a high for weeks!

Georgie and Ross had to postpone their wedding several times due to Covid but finally on a sunny day in October 2021 they were third time lucky! It was an absolutely beautiful October wedding.
We stayed in the big barn the night before and the newly renovated 1 bed, cart 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 have imagined!

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?
