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.
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.

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!

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

A HUGE thank you to Nicola, Peter and Viki for all their hard work both during the wedding day and the planning/lead up.
Right from our very first contact with Nicola we were impressed by the way she worked and particularly liked that she had clear boundaries of what they do and don’t offer/recommend as this can really help with the overwhelming amount of decisions that there are to be made around organising weddings.
The shared spreadsheet was also a really helpful way to keep track everything decided/discussed in the in person meetings and via email.
The day could not have run smoother and we felt completely relaxed throughout the day knowing that were anything to happen Nicola was on hand to manage it.
The venue itself is gorgeous! The main Barn is beautifully designed and decorated without being too specific so you can still add your own touch to the space, the gardens are immaculately kept by Peter (not a blade of grass out of place) and the guest accommodation was equally stunning.
If you are thinking of having your wedding in Sussex I could not recommend Hendall Manor Barns more highly!

We are so lucky that we always seem to attract lots of creative couples that want to, above all create a day filled with lots of individuality and fun. On 16th July 2022 Livi & Alex held their creative barn wedding at Hendall and it certainly contained an abundance of both of these.
Many couples are planning a future English Summer wedding and we know that the majority of our prospective couples have dreamy plans of an English summer wedding day, where their guests can bathe in the glorious summer sunshine, where a gentle breeze helps to cool everyone, glasses of Pimms and Fizz are on hand and […]
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
Suzanne and Alex
We recently had our wedding here, from the initial viewing to the actual day itself Nicola and her team were beyond helpful. The grounds and venue have so many great photo opportunities, and staying on site was perfect as it meant everyone was together and ready for the morning! The communication was clear and quick, and the day itself could not have run smoother, we really can’t thank you enough for all the help and support over the last year and we are so glad we chose Hendall as our venue.
Billie & Christian
From our first visit, we knew Hendall was where we wanted to get married.
The warmth and character of both the venue itself but also you all made it totally unmatched.
We are so lucky to celebrate in such a stunning place and we are grateful for all your support along the way.
