Happy Cheshire Day! Today we’re celebrating one of the UK’s most beautiful and characterful counties, and we’re proud to have three incredible Artemis venues calling Cheshire home. ✨ @CombermereAbbey - a historic estate set within stunning walled gardens and parkland, offering a truly timeless setting for weddings and events.
✨ @SandholeOakBarn - a breathtaking barn surrounded by tranquil lakeside views, blending rustic charm with elegant design.
✨ @OldPalaceChester - a beautifully restored Georgian manor house overlooking The River Dee. Each venue has its own unique personality, but they all share the same goal: setting the stage for unforgettable weddings and events in one of the most picturesque parts of the country. Here’s to celebrating Cheshire’s landscapes, heritage and thriving hospitality scene today.

At Artemis, our values of togetherness, passion and adaptability shape every experience we deliver. When couples share feedback like this, it’s a powerful reminder of why that commitment matters. "We had the most incredible wedding day at The Pear Tree and honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. From start to finish everything was seamless, and the whole team went above and beyond to make our day so special. The setting is absolutely beautiful and created the most magical atmosphere for our celebration. Every detail was taken care of, the organisation was flawless, and the staff were so friendly, calm and attentive throughout the entire day." Reviews like this reflect the dedication of our teams who work together behind the scenes to ensure every detail is carefully considered and every couple feels supported from start to finish. It’s that shared passion for hospitality and genuine care for our couples that helps us set the stage for unforgettable moments. Congratulations to @peartreepurton team for such a fantastic review!

Today is International School Meals Day, so it feels like the perfect time to highlight our charity partner, @MagicBreakfast_UK. 🍽️ Magic Breakfast works to ensure that children who need it most start the school day with a nutritious breakfast, helping them feel ready to learn and thrive in the classroom. Over the past few months, our teams across Artemis have been raising funds and awareness for this incredible charity, and we’re proud of the enthusiasm and generosity shown across the business. And we’re not stopping there! There’s plenty more fundraising still to come. We’re grateful to support such important work and to play a small part in helping more children start their day the right way.

Introducing Lakeview and The Lodge - two stunning new spaces at @BrookfieldBarn ✨ At Artemis, we’re committed to continually investing in our venues. We take time to listen to our couples and evolve the experience to reflect what matters most to them. At Brookfield Barn, we’re proud to introduce not one, but two beautifully designed preparation spaces, ensuring that both partners now have their own private retreat on the morning of their wedding. Replacing the existing preparation room, Lakeview is a calm, light-filled space overlooking the water. With a spacious preparation lounge, private changing room, shower facilities and a bar area, it’s been carefully designed to offer comfort, elegance and a relaxed start to the day. Alongside this, The Lodge provides a cosy, characterful setting inspired by countryside charm. It's designed with comfortable seating and a welcoming focal point for gathering, unwinding, and enjoying a quiet moment before the celebrations begin. As part of this development, the original preparation room will be transformed into an eleventh guest bedroom, further strengthening Brookfield’s on-site accommodation offering. It’s all part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing every stage of the guest journey, from the first moment of the morning to the final dance of the evening.

Welcome to the Mocktail Era 🍸 Whether it's Dry January, sober curiosity, or designated driver duties, the last couple of years have seen a marked increase in desire for non-alcoholic drink options. At Artemis, it’s important to us that every guest feels considered and included. No one should feel like they’re missing out on the experience. That’s why we’ve created a range of hand-crafted mocktails (plus rotating seasonal additions), designed with the same care, flavour and presentation as our cocktails, just without the alcohol. So, whatever your drink of choice, you're guaranteed to find something special behind an Artemis bar.

Our cocktails have had a seasonal shake-up! 🍸 A great menu evolves with the seasons. That’s why our cocktail menus are refreshed throughout the year, reflecting seasonal flavours, emerging trends, and the moments our guests come together to celebrate. This winter, our bar teams have introduced a new cocktail collection inspired by cosy, nostalgic flavours and festive twists, designed to warm evenings and elevate celebrations across our venues. The winter menu is supplementary to our existing cocktail menu and features all the winter favourites - Cranberry Gin Fizz, Winter Aperol Spritz, Rhubarb & Custard, and a Winter Fizz (non-alcoholic). Each drink has been carefully crafted to capture the spirit of the season. A big thank you to Jonny, Bar Manager at @PelhamHouse, for bringing the winter menu to life in this video; to our bar teams across the collection, who continue to innovate behind the scenes; and, of course, to Santa himself for his festive cameo 🎅.

Spotlight on our team: introducing Lex Mottram, General Manager at @CombermereAbbeyWeddings Lex began his hospitality career managing bars and nightclubs before moving into operations across multiple hospitality businesses. In 2019, he joined Artemis as General Manager for @OldPalaceChester, leading the team from its opening with great success. In 2024, Lex took on a new challenge as he stepped into the role of General Manager at Combermere Abbey, now overseeing both venues. Recently, Lex sat down with Sarah Callander Beckett, owner of @CombermereAbbey, to talk all things weddings, the beauty of the estate’s gardens, and the continued success of this incredible venue. We’re so proud of Lex’s journey and of the strong, collaborative relationship we’ve built with Sarah and the team at Combermere Abbey. Together, we’re continuing to create unforgettable experiences and look forward to everything the future holds.
