The Terrace, Lawns & Grounds

The large, raised south-facing terrace and lawn at Hendall is ideal for wedding and drink receptions. The terrace can also double as a performance stage overlooking the lawn area below. This beautiful outside area offers a stunning, tranquil setting for both wedding receptions and parties, as well as charity events and exhibitions.

The Terrace

The terrace features outdoor wooden tables, chairs and parasols along with benches, olive trees, planters and potted box hedges.

In the evening, the festoon lighting that runs the length of the terrace is switched on, and the main house is floodlit, creating a wonderful backdrop during the evening.

The Lawn

The main lawn is beautifully manicured and mown ahead of each event held at Hendall. The Terrace and Lawn are completely enclosed ensuring all guests are able to remain together in one central location.

A heater is available during the colder months to keep guests warm.

Photo Opportunities

Couples have access, along with their photographer, to the other beautiful & private areas within the grounds.

The pond, wooden swing, orchard, fields and private lawns offer wonderful opportunities to capture some fantastic photography for wedding photos.

Testimonials

  • We are already planning our return to the Cart Barn

    What an amazing place to stay! My partner, my dog and I had the BEST New Year’s Eve break at the Cart Barn.

    Nicola and Peter are amazing hosts, happy to answer any questions you have – nothing is too much trouble. Inside the barn it is beautifully decorated and furnished and it has everything you need, from cooking utensils to toiletries and maps of the local area. You are surrounded by gorgeous fields and wildlife, there are multiple walking trails in each direction and you are right on the edge of Ashdown Forest.
    The area is really peaceful and quiet, perfect for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. There are 2 pubs close by, both in walking distance through fields and woodlands, that serve delicious food and drinks too.

    We are already planning our return and have recommended the Cart Barn to friends and family. Thank you for an amazing stay!
