The Stone Barn

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 Upper Level

The upper level of the building, dating from the mid-1800’s, provides a large reception area in addition to the entrance.

The slate flooring complements the sandstone and brick walls. There is under-floor heating throughout the Barn and a variety of lighting options to suit all moods and occasions.

There are two large openings, formerly loading doors; one provides the main entrance and the other access to an extensive raised, and south-facing terrace, that is ideal for receptions on a sunny day or as a stage for performances.

The Lower Level

The lower level of the building dates from the 17th century, with in-filled mullion windows and doorways set into its lovely rough sandstone walls. The tall vaulted roof and oak flooring provide ideal and well-proportioned space for comfortably seating up to 80 diners at round or rectangular tables.

More can be seated if the upper level is used as well. The comprehensive lighting incorporates pin lights that can be directed onto each table or into the stone recesses.

Facilities

A further ramp and archway lead into a servery and through to the caterer’s kitchen. The two large openings, allow plenty of light and one provides access directly onto the lawn.

Both halves of the Stone Barn have floor boxes for power and data input. Ten ceiling speakers and the integrated sound system ensure that speeches, presentations and films can be easily made, shown and heard.

Testimonials

  • The wedding was absolutely amazing and was better than we ever dreamed of!

    Wow, where do I start… We have had a truly tremendous couple of weeks. Myself and Gavin want to thank you, Peter and Viki so much for all of your help coordinating the wedding, the wedding was absolutely amazing and was better than we ever dreamed of! Everything went amazingly well that day and I cannot express how appreciative we are for everything that you guys did for us! You have a hard job and you all do it very well! I will be sure to recommend you to others in the future!

    Our guests also had a blast-many saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to! The scenery, the food, the cottage/barn – everything was perfect! The weather was on our side and the barn was beautiful – I kept looking around and was in awe at how warm & beautiful it looked! We and our family are still beaming (and will for a long time) on what an amazing wedding it was.

    Lastly, many thanks again and we hope we can be in touch one day again to use your cottage as its stunning!

  • Could not recommend Hendall Manor Barns more highly

    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!
