Glewstone Court has been named Best Historic Venue in the West Midlands 2026 at The Wedding Industry Awards. This marks the second consecutive year we’ve received this top honour. This recognition reinforces our position as a leading award-winning wedding venue in Herefordshire. It also shows us as one of the standout award-winning venues in the West Midlands.
“The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) are the most rigorous, respected and coveted awards in the UK wedding industry. So the regional winners really are at the top of their game,” says Damian Bailey, founder of The Wedding Industry Awards. “The competition is tough, the standards very high indeed. Thanks to over 26,747 client votes and our panel of more than 160 expert judges, the Regional Winners have risen to the top in an industry that absolutely demands the best.”
In addition to our main win, our team was also Highly Commended in the Best Events Team category, reflecting the professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail our staff bring to every wedding. Being recognised in both categories demonstrates that Glewstone Court delivers an exceptional experience, both in terms of its historic setting and the team behind it.
A message from Gary Homewood, Owner of Glewstone Court Country House
“We are incredibly honoured to have been named Best Historic Venue, West Midlands, for the second year in a row. For us, this award is more than a title. It’s a reflection of the care, thought, and attention we put into every wedding we host, making each one a unique experience for the couple.
We were also thrilled to receive a ‘Highly Commended for Best Events Team’, a recognition that is testimony to outstanding service and empathy. Our team pours their heart into every celebration, and we are truly grateful that both our wonderful couples and the judges have recognised that commitment through the award.
This year’s achievement is especially meaningful, as it marks eleven years to the day since we first took ownership of Glewstone Court. In that time, we’ve invested not just in the building and grounds, but in creating an atmosphere where love stories can unfold effortlessly. Every restoration, every improvement, and every detail has been guided by a simple goal: to offer couples a beautifully restored historic manor and supporting team that feels warm, personal, and entirely theirs for the day.
We look forward to welcoming more couples into the Glewstone Court family to share in your excitement, support your vision, and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.”
For anyone searching for award-winning wedding venues in the West Midlands or an award-winning wedding venue in Herefordshire, these back-to-back accolades show that Glewstone Court continues to deliver exceptional service, beautiful surroundings, and a wedding experience couples remember long after their day is over.
