In 2023, we sold a remarkable 110,000 pizzas! 🍕 In fact, our delicious wood-fired pizza took centre stage, claiming a whopping 76% share of our evening food sales, with Pepperoni being the favourite topping of choice.

But we want to hear from you! Are pizzas your couple’s favourite evening food, or do they have another favourite? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

We’re delighted to announce a new partnership with a historic family estate in Herefordshire.

One of the most impressive wedding and events venues in the region, @crumplebury sits at the heart of the 1,500-acre Whitbourne Estate in Whitbourne.

With spectacular weddings featured in Vogue and national press including National Geographic and Condé Nast Traveler, prestige automotive marques like Volvo have long chosen Crumplebury as the world-class venue for their launches.

This long-term partnership will see us running their weddings and events business, encompassing breathtaking indoor and outdoor spaces, 11 luxurious bedrooms and a Victorian estate cottage.

As part of the new agreement, we will be investing in some exciting changes to the multi-million development, built in 2019 by the Evans family.

These will strengthen the venue’s position in the market, and enhance its reputation as one of the most glamorous and sustainable wedding and events venues in the region.

We’re thrilled to welcome Crumplebury to our portfolio of 14, making us the largest exclusive use wedding and events venue management group in the UK.

Huge thanks to Angus Hastie and Stuart Owens who brokered the deal.

Exciting times ahead!

Artemis Master Chef 2024 | The final

Yesterday marked the epic showdown of culinary prowess as The Pear Tree and Mythe Barn came head-to-head in the Artemis Master Chef 2024 Final. Taking on a timed mystery box challenge, both teams showcased their culinary finesse, meticulously planning a 2-course meal for two in just 15 minutes once the box revealed its contents.

The teams unleashed their creativity in a heated 2-hour cook-off, leaving the kitchen buzzing with an inspiring atmosphere. Watching these talented chefs at work was a fantastic experience, shedding light on the depth of knowledge and unwavering dedication within our talented teams.

The 2-hour cook time concluded with anticipation as the judges deliberated, ultimately leading to the announcement of the well-deserved winners - Andy & Nobby from @thepeartreepurton ! Huge congratulations to them for their exceptional performance. A massive round of applause is also in order for the runners-up, Warren & Dave from @mythebarnweddings , and all the incredibly talented chefs who participated in the 2024 competition.

Special thanks to @studiorougephotography for capturing the incredible moments of this competition. We can’t wait to see the finished film!

This alliance represents a collective commitment to fostering sustainability and environmental responsibility within the wedding industry. At Artemis, we firmly believe that creating beautiful, memorable moments should not come at the expense of our planet, and we are committed to promoting sustainability and environmentally responsible practices within the wedding industry.

No celebration would be complete without something incredible to eat and drink. That’s why we work so hard to make sure that the food on each of our couples’ wedding days is truly unforgettable.

We run wedding experience events throughout the year, showcasing our dynamic fine dining options and allowing couples to experience for themselves what a wedding at one of our venues is truly like, from canapes to cocktail stations and everything in between.

Each of these events includes a carefully curated menu, served by wonderfully attentive staff whose attention to detail provides a truly theatrical experience. Couples will gain insight into the impressive hospitality that their guests will receive on their wedding day.

At these events, couples get a chance to soak up the atmosphere and chat with our team of experts. They’ll taste our delicious food and sample a selection of fine wines that pair beautifully with each course. They’ll be able to meet other couples who are also marrying in the venue, share ideas and be inspired by one another. Then they can use their experience to customise their menu to perfectly suit their tastes.

With us, it’s more than just a meal. It’s an experience.

We are pleased to announce that Chris Hewson has recently been promoted to Group Finance Director at Artemis!

Chris joined us as Head of Finance in August 2021 and since then has impressed everybody with his expertise, diligence, hard work and easy manner. Chris has been closely involved in a number of key projects and steering the continuing development of the company’s finance function.

Our former Group Finance Director, Steve Wilkinson, moved into the role of Non-Executive Director as of 1st January 2023 and whilst Chris has certainly got some fantastic shoes to fill, we are really excited to continue building the business alongside him.

“I am excited to continue my journey with this fantastic company and amazing group of people.” – Chris Hewson

Creativity is at the heart of everything we do when we’re putting together marketing campaigns at Artemis. And there’s a reason that we’ve got the largest portfolio of world-class venues in the UK. Here you can see a sneak peek from behind the scenes at a shoot we did last week at @oldpalacechester aiming to showcase some of our incredible food and beverage products. We absolutely love how it turned out.

In 2022, we at Artemis have focused re-inventing our digital infrastructure. By removing physical barriers and underpinning our business with customer-centric technology, our couples can now access the wedding planning and venue inspiration they need quicker and easier than ever before.⁠
⁠
With the desire for print-based solutions diminishing, couples now more than ever are looking to consume content online and in real-time. In 2023, we aim to move our business fully online, supporting a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future. It is our aim to lead the wedding industry in 21st century marketing techniques and initiatives, with a focus on motion graphics, video, 3D and on-the-go interactive content.⁠
