A LEADING UK wedding venue management group has signed a long-term lease at a historic estate in Herefordshire. 

Since launching in November 2019, Crumplebury in Whitbourne, near Bromyard, has hosted a number of incredible weddings, major marquee car launches and exclusive events alongside its critically-acclaimed fine dining restaurant, Green Cow Kitchens.

Now, Artmeis has stepped on board by signing the agreement at the 1,500-acre estate that has had a £3 million upgrade.

Joe Evans, owner of the Whitbourne Estate and Crumplebury’s founder, added: “I have had an extremely positive experience dealing with the team at Artemis to kick-start our new commercial partnership.

“Having started the business from scratch, it was a personal wrench to decide to relinquish the operational reins, but the transition has been dealt with efficiently and positively.

“Now the full transfer has happened, we look forward to seeing our property soar to new heights as the marketing and operational strength of Artemis beds in. 

“Having been approached by several operators in the past, we chose to partner with Artemis because they saw genuine value in the work that we had already done to create a strong brand, and whilst clearly the working practices will evolve, it’s comforting to know that founding values will remain. The entire team have been a pleasure to deal with: friendly, reasonable and professional.”
