It's a Harvestival and you're invited

Private Tours of the house

Back by popular demand! Private tours of the house will once again be available for those happy newly engaged couples still searching for their perfect wedding venue for 2024 and beyond.

(We are now fully booked for this year and next!)

One of our friendly wedding coordinators will guide you through the house, give you a little history of the place, and talk you through how we do weddings here in detail allowing you to envision your day and decide if Elmore is the perfect venue for you...

Please get in touch with Team E to secure your slot life@elmorecourt.com 

Treehouse first look!

Big news. For the first time ever we will be able to take you on a little wander from the house down the track and along into the field to see the first of our treehouse accommodation in construction. 

There are 4 timber frames up and ready for cladding, and Luke will be on hand to show you the exciting plans for the inside of the treehouses and talk you through it all.

So if you're keen to get a first peek at our treehouse retreats look out for Luke on the day, he'll be doing a tour at 1.30 and again at 3.30.

Go wild in the walled garden

Cynneth will be in his favourite spot in the walled garden to help any keen gardeners build a bug hotel and create a mini salad bowl to take home from the greenhouse.

Forage for bricks and tiles and create a cosy bug hotel for the wild creatures of the walled garden.

Go to the greenhouse for a little seed planting challenge, make a mini salad bowl to take away and grow at home!

Wedding stationery & design

Our beautiful Harvestival flyer (and also the map you'll receive on the day) has been designed by the talented Emma of Emerald Paper design.

If you look closely at the illustration above you'll see a bountiful harvest featuring all the fruits and vegetables currently growing in the walled garden at Elmore which will be ripe and juicy by September's open day, and a little gathering of furry friends have taken the opportunity to feast on nature's delights whilst they can!

You are actually very likely to see Mr Fox picking blackberries off the bushes in the walled garden at this time of year, so this whimsical image is also based entirely on the facts of nature at Elmore.

Emma will be joining us on the day so feel free to chat to her about creating your bespoke invitations and other wedding stationery. She may even do a spot of live watercolour painting
