The Courtyard Celebrates Accessible and Inclusive Venue Award Win

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that The Courtyard has been awarded the prestigious Accessible and Inclusive Venue award at the 2024 Visit Herefordshire awards ceremony.

The event took place on Wednesday 26 February at the beautiful Lyde Court, bringing together the best of Herefordshire’s tourism and hospitality industry.

This recognition means so much to our entire team, who work tirelessly to ensure that The Courtyard is welcoming and accessible to everyone in our community. From our accessible performances and screenings to our adapted facilities and staff training, making arts and culture available to all has always been at the heart of our mission.
