The main hire space is the Soulton Court building, where lecture and event rooms seat up to 100 guests theater style and dining spaces take the same number. The hall is a Tudor manor at Soulton Road, near Wem and Shrewsbury.
Seminars and company events
The venue hire page lists the events the house caters for: meetings and events, product launches, retreats and wellness events, conferences, ceremonies, wakes and public lectures. For a working day, Soulton Court is the base. Its lecture and event rooms accommodate up to 100 people in theater layout, and dining spaces of the same capacity mean one group can work and eat on the same site.
For smaller or more private sessions, the house offers rooms inside Soulton Hall itself. The site describes them as intimate rooms, each with its own atmosphere, but gives no figures for them, so an organizer should ask for the room that fits the group. Outside, three garden courts, the chess court, Epidaurus Court and Base Court, provide settings for breaks or receptions. Guests may also walk through the wider estate, including the As You Like It Wood.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are presented as a separate offer. Couples can choose historic rooms in the Tudor house, the light-filled Soulton Court, barn wedding spaces, or the sheltered walled gardens for a marquee and outdoor ceremonies. The house is a family home, and the owners stress that a wedding takes place inside it. The venue strongly recommends hiring a wedding planner for vendor coordination and timing, and is happy to suggest names.
Rooms and capacities
The only figure on the official pages is 100: theater-style seating in the lecture and event rooms of Soulton Court, and the same capacity for dining. The hall's own rooms, the three garden courts and the walled gardens have no stated capacity.
Accommodation
Guests can stay on the estate. The Manor House, the Carriage House and Rosalynde's Cottage are offered for residential stays. The Manor House bedrooms have stone mullioned windows from the 1550s, oak floorboards and wood paneling, and some have four-poster beds. The pages do not give the number of bedrooms or beds, which has to be confirmed with the house.
History and setting
Soulton Hall was built in the sixteenth century by Sir Rowland Hill, a Tudor figure who used it as a rural base. The Ashton family now owns it and still lives there, and opens the estate to heritage tours, lectures, performances and special events. The house presents a link to Shakespeare's As You Like It and describes its brick and stone architecture as coded. A modern long barrow, a stone and earth structure for reflection, stands on the grounds.
