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.

“What a brilliant, beautiful barn!
It was perfect. A stylishly and sensitively converted barn balancing old and new nestled in the stunning Sussex countryside.
I went to focus on work for a few days and the combination of fast/reliable WiFi and countless walks from the front door to clear my head, were a winning combination. Oh, and then throw in some fab local pubs!
Will definitely be returning – 5*+++”

We had a wonderful stay here with our son and two grandsons. The snooker table, table tennis and tennis court provided endless entertainment.
A delightful property and location. Nicola was both welcoming and responsive to any questions.

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

We have so many unique weddings at Hendall I am pleased to say this puts us in the enviable position of having a wealth of wonderful weddings to showcase! We hope that you can take inspiration from Freya and Ben’s day for your own Sussex countryside wedding at Hendall.
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!

Georgie and Ross had to postpone their wedding several times due to Covid but finally on a sunny day in October 2021 they were third time lucky! It was an absolutely beautiful October wedding.
