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.
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.

We had our wedding breakfast and evening disco at Hendall Manor in August this year. It was a stunning venue and my husband and I fell in love with it, from the moment we stepped in the door. The service was excellent and we had the confidence knowing our wishes were carried out to the letter. We had such an amazing celebration and so many compliments on the venue from family and friends. I would highly recommend Hendall Manor for your special day. You will have a day to remember for the rest of your lives.

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

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!
Wow… where to begin…. Nicola, Peter & Viki made our wedding so special… from the planning to the big day… it was seamless…. Nothing was to much trouble at all, we felt in such good hands and our wedding day was the best day of our lives! Everything was taken care of behind the scenes so there was absolutely no stress on the day! Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful Hendall is and how amazing everyone is who is involved!
We can’t Thank Hendall enough for everything they have done for us!

Pink Prosecco has been making waves in the wine industry lately, and for good reason. This delicious and refreshing wine is a perfect choice for any occasion, from a casual brunch or a hen party, to a wedding! Here’s everything you need to know about it:
We are sitting here at our delightful airport hotel reminiscing on the best day of our lives on Saturday. It really was spectacular and we are so thrilled with all of our choices of venue, photographer and caterers, you all delivered so brilliantly and we are so grateful.
I wanted to share a few comments I heard on the day including my mother (not easily impressed) saying that she had never come across a more organised photographer, and John the comments we have had regarding the first pictures you have released have been amazing and I couldn’t believe how great they look! Sarah – my friend Joe (a massive foodie) said he had never had a piece of beef like it and was blown away and the non-stop commentary on the fantastic canapés made me laugh. And Viki, Peter & Nic, so many people said on the day how fantastic the venue looked and how lucky we were to have such a brilliant place to get married in.
We wish we could do it all again! But next time we do a big party we know who to come to!!
Thank you again so much, you completely made the day for us and we are so incredibly grateful.

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!

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!

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.
