The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when Glenart Castle Mess in Longbridge, Birmingham will reopen.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Glenart Castle Mess is anticipated to reopen in Summer 2026.
The closure of the Mess has no impact on Defence’s ability to meet its contractual obligations with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where the majority of personnel based at Glenart Castle routinely work.
