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!
With over a decade of experience our dedicated team at Hendall have compiled some ideas to help you as you begin to plan your special day.
Planning a Wedding with your beloved pet?

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 had a great stay in the beautiful and sympathetically restored barn. We loved reading about the history of the farm and how it had evolved into the property it is today. Nicola was extremely responsive to questions prior to arrival and was very friendly when we arrived.
Everything was as described and the kitchen was extremely well equipped – even with a good knife to carve the turkey on Christmas Day! We especially enjoyed being able to walk the dogs straight out of the front door onto the Weald Way with multiple different footpaths to try.

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!

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
Me and my family had a great stay over the Christmas period. Nicola was a great host and very responsive even over Xmas.
I would love to visit again some time.

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!

Just a little note to say what a fabulous day we had at Ellie & Scott’s wedding last week. The venue is a great with plenty of space to chat, dance eat and relax.
Most of all though the staff were all fabulous, happy, smiley, friendly and courteous they couldn’t do enough to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves.

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.
Sam & Molly
Once again we’d like to thank you all so much for hosting our perfect wedding.
We had the best day and it was exactly what we wanted!
Everyone said what a beautiful venue and location it was.
Thank you for all that you did.

Dear Nicola & Peter
Just to say thank you again for the loan of your barn for our wedding favour photoshoot.
It is a beautiful venue and the images have come out fantastically well.
Your generosity will really help to give hope to people living with dementia now and in the future.
Warm regards
Claire Bagnall-Hunt – Senior Commercial Trading Executive
From the minute we walked into Hendall Manor Barns, Nicola and her team gave us absolute confidence that we would be well looked after. They answered all of our questions, helped us understand all the complexities of organising a wedding, and had us feeling completely at ease throughout.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and lovingly renovated, as are the on-site accommodations and the surrounding area is just so beautiful and peaceful.
We’d like to give a massive thank you to all the team at Hendall for helping to make our wedding day truly memorable!
Thanks again for everything, we will definitely be in touch closer to our anniversary to organise a stay!
