About this place
Elmore Court is a grade II* listed mansion built between 1564 and 1588, standing above a bend in the River Severn in Gloucestershire.
The house has remained in the same family for hundreds of years.
It now operates as an exclusive-use wedding and events venue rather than a general visitor attraction, with access by booking only.
The wider estate includes woodland, wetland and a rewilding project alongside the historic house and gardens.
