Lemore Manor is one of Herefordshire’s finest wedding, corporate and function venues and has been a labour of love for its owners Margaret and Ben Owen for the last decade. The main house Lemore Manor is set in quiet seclusion and blending a beautifully proportioned stone property with modern features, this place was meant for a party or private function. A large orangery with glistening chandeliers opens out to the terrace and gardens and lends a glamorous Gatsby style theme with its cocktail bar and ample room for tables (seat up to 120 guests), dancing, your live band and all of your happy guests. With statement wall coverings, soft furnishings and furniture, the break-away rooms are yours to relax in. The open fire and long dark wood tables of the formal dining room, that can seat up to 50, demand equally luxurious cuisine from the talented in-house chef and his team. Downstairs there is a gentlemen’s snug and games room, but don’t worry ladies, something even more special is your hen den (more later). Ceremonies are held in the purpose built ‘chapel’ room with its beamed ceiling waiting for garlands to adorn it and the photo opportunities are endless in […]

Stella Holt, owner of Eating Out With Food Allergies Consultancy (EOWFA), is passionate about providing safe dining experiences for people suffering from food allergies, coeliac disease and EGIDs (Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders), thus, EOWFA was born!

The house is surrounded by a moat and is entered via a charming timber-framed gatehouse, built 1530-40. There are miles of walks through the park and woodland, featuring ancient trees, the picturesque Lawn Pool and various sculptures depicting parts of the history of Brockhampton and the local area.

For example, the original medieval great hall had an upper floor inserted into it by the family, in order to accommodate their many children.
