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.

Planning a Wedding with your beloved pet?
Whether it’s a dog carrying the rings, a horse roaming the fields with you, or even a cherished photo of a pet who couldn’t be there, these moments remind us that family comes in many forms and love, loyalty, and companionship don’t always walk on two legs.
Hendall Manor Barns is a place where families can celebrate together, without compromise.
Laura and Adam’s beautiful wedding is the perfect example of how a day can be both effortlessly stylish and completely family-friendly.
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.
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!

After viewing Hendall Manor Barns and meeting Viki, Nicola and Peter we knew we were in safe hands when it came to our wedding day. We immediately fell in love with the beautiful venue and associated accommodation. It was also comforting having Hendall’s expertise, along approved list of quality suppliers, ensuring everything went to smoothly.
Overall, we had the perfect wedding day and we can be certain it wouldn’t have been the same if it were anywhere else!

Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan your own, unique day at Hendall.
Tucked away down a country lane, Hendall Manor is surrounded by a plethora of beautiful, historical buildings two of which are dedicated to onsite accommodation. If you love the idea of your wedding party being able to stay with you, the night before and on the day of your wedding, look no further than 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.
Last year Hendall was lucky enough to be the countryside venue that Chloe (who works at Hendall in various forms) chose for her wedding day.
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!

Hendall Manor Barns and Charleigh Victoria Photography are the duo you never knew you needed on your wedding day, they’re just incredible! I could not recommend either enough, the compliments we’ve had on our wedding will stay with me forever.

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.
Kelly & Chris
Last Christmas!
