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!

Hendall Manor Barns is a place where families can celebrate together, without compromise.

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.
I just wanted to say what a wonderful time we’ve had here. Such a recharge for our batteries in a beautiful tranquil environment. An exceptional stay in your barn with such interesting and rich history. We had fantastic walk to down the Millennium and Weald Way ending up in The Foresters. We have one very tired doggy and two very happy souls. Thanks ever so much for letting us be part of your fabulous setting.

An outstanding stay in a fantastically beautiful barn and surroundings. What a charming area and quintessential English countryside location. The Cart Barn was pristine and extremely well equipped throughout including a high end finished bathroom. We brought our dog here and they slept all the way back home with us. That’s always a good sign!
Very comfortable bed and relaxing sofa in which to digest the House’s history, fascinating!
Absolutely first class hosts and thank you for letting be part of it. 100% recommended 🙂

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
We love the variety of working with a plethora of great suppliers here at Hendall so were delighted when Gillian and Laura from Sussex Celebrants contacted us to say they had written a blog all about Hendall.
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.

Stayed here with three couples and three babies. The place is beautiful and big with lots of things to keep you entertained in the house – we particularly enjoyed the table tennis and pool tables! Nicola was an incredibly helpful host with good recommendations for local pubs with great food (would definitely recommend The Hurstwood pub).
Would come back to stay again!

Our wedding day turned out even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, and so much of that is thanks to this incredible venue and team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond, and were highly organised, attentive and genuinely caring. Every detail was thoughtfully handled and we felt completely supported throughout the whole process.
The venue itself is stunning, but it’s the warm, approachable team that truly made it special. It all flowed so seamlessly and we’re beyond grateful!
Ella & Ian
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!
Christina & Richard
We had our wedding at Hendall Manor barns in June 2023. Hendall was the first venue we visited and we knew we didn’t need to look anywhere else. Nicola and Peter have created the most stunning venue – immaculate and beautifully restored – it is the most perfect, breath-taking place that also feels so relaxed and welcoming.
Sasha & Ted
Nicola , Peter and Viki are amazing and so helpful though out always on hand to help answer questions and support us though the planning!
Amazing place to get married so special! So many guests commented on how amazing it was and so much space for photos throughout the day.
Matt Butler
We and our guests had a lovely day and quite honestly would recommend Hendall to anyone who wants a beautiful setting at any time of the year to have any type of celebration. Being able to stay on-site made it even easier! Couldn’t have gone any better, we had all we wanted and more and look forward to celebrating again on an anniversary down the line
