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!

Once again a huge thank you from Cheryl and me to you, Peter and all your team for helping to make Olivia and Alex’s wedding such a wonderful occasion. It was a truly memorable day. You have a lovely wedding venue and the on-site accommodation worked so well for us.

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

Our comprehensive list of wedding sign ideas, should be a useful guide to what will help your guests feel relaxed so everyone can simply enjoy the day!
Hendall is such a beautiful place to be even in early April! We always had Hendall in our minds for our special day and although ours wasn’t your typical ‘Wedding’ day and with only 4 months to organise everything as we had a particular date in mind, you all helped make it easy. We even managed to get the BBQ done outside at the beginning of April against all the odds!

Wedding speeches are an integral part of any wedding ceremony, and they offer an opportunity to express your feelings and gratitude towards the newlyweds. It is an opportunity to share your thoughts, memories, and wishes with the wedding couple, their family, and friends.
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.
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.
The Old Granary
Had a fabulous Easter break with the family. The area was lovely and the house was great for socialising. Thank you for your hospitality.
