LEMORE MANOR
Lemore Manor dates all the way back to 1640 and is situated in the rural village of Eardisley, which lies in the great British countryside county, Herefordshire. Just hugging the Welsh borders and a stone’s throw from Hay-on-Wye and Leominster, you’re surrounded by beauty. With beautiful settings, Lemore Manor has a lot to live up to and it certainly does that! The manor has many attractions for all occasions. From a beautiful bridal suite, for even the most anxious of brides, to calm the nerves before the big day, to exhilarating activities perfect for corporate outings. With space and capabilities for all occasions, the band stand is a brilliant option for an outdoor wedding, holding up to 150 guests. If you’d prefer to be indoors, then it doesn’t get much better

With room for 150 guests, there is plenty of room to have all those you love, and maybe those you don’t so much! 10 years is a lot of marriage certificates, and that’s what is important to Ben and Margaret, who themselves recently celebrated their 25th anniversary this year.

and I think it really hits home how important marriage is to society and to be a helping hand in that is amazing.” “We’re at the point, where we are now seeing people who were married at Lemore, almost ten years ago and they come back to see us. It’s fantastic to see the test of time. Playing such a large role in these individuals and their friends and families memories of this day is something really special. It is something Margaret and I are very lucky to be so involved with.” Marriage is a very important part in many people’s lives. The ceremony and other aspects have changed since it’s archaic beginning, but it’s core aspects remain; the joining of families and to revel in their happiness. Lemore Manor is a place that has seen this in
