Today’s podcast episode is with an aristocratic festival organiser, techno DJ and producer, who has combined his passion for entertainment with his love of the environment in his family home on the River Severn in Gloucestershire.

Meet Anselm Guise, owner of Elmore Court the beautiful wedding venue and stately home just outside Gloucester.

Find out how Anselm came to own Elmore Court and how over the past 10 years it has been developed from a 16th Century grand country residence into a successful wedding venue on an estate that has sustainability at its heart.
When you put a festival organiser into a venue like that, you can imagine the parties...you can also imagine what the locals had to say when Anselm put in for planning permission.

Anselm is so inspiring as he shares how ten years on, he has defied all local scepticism and is going beyond the house renovations and is turning his passion for nature and sustainability into rewilding swathes of the Elmore estate. He's now spending his time working on ways to create a really sustainable, biodiverse site through regenerative farming and rewilding of the former wetlands.

Talking of wetlands, looking out over the Severn Estuary will be his six luxury treehouses due to open in May 2023, all of which are being kitted out by some rather famous designers – who are also part of the family.
