Whitbourne Hall is a grade II* listed neo-Palladian country house located in the village of Whitbourne in Herefordshire (near the Worcestershire border), England.
The hall was first constructed in 1860 by the architect E. W. Elmslie, who also designed the Great Malvern railway station, as well as a number of other notable buildings in Worcestershire. Today, Whitbourne Hall is situated in eight acres of gardens, and is divided into twenty-three private residences. However the hall is periodically open the public (every Monday in May and June), and is also hired out as a venue for weddings, private receptions and corporate events. The hall and grounds are also used for cultural events such as theatre productions and choral performances. It is also home to the Four Shires Festival.
In April 2010 Whitbourne Hall was the subject of a Channel 4 television documentary presented by hotelier Ruth Watson as part of her Country House Rescue series.
