Introduction
Walcot Hall is Georgian mansion, formerly the
residence of Lord Clive of India. As a private
family home it offers a wealth of character and
individuality to every wedding that takes place
here. Set in splendour within a country estate,
it overlooks a mile-long lake and rolling
parkland. To the rear are extensive gardens and
an Arboretum, with pools, a fountain and croquet
lawn to mention but a few. Should you choose to
host your wedding at Walcot Hall you can be sure
of a day that is not packaged in any way.
In the first instance, you are offered the rare
luxury of time; the Ballroom can be hired for a 48
hour period. Secondly you may have exclusive use of
the venue and can choose to invite 65 guests to stay
within our holiday apartments. And thirdly there is
no designated supplier list, giving you the freedom
of choice to create a wedding that suits
you perfectly, including bringing your own alcohol
with no corkage charges.
Testimonials
"We wanted to thank you - and everyone there- so
very much for hosting our wedding reception. It
was such a wonderful, special day. The house
and gardens looked fabulous (as always) and were
enjoyed by everyone there. Many guests have
told us it's the most enjoyable wedding they've
ever been too. Exaggeration, I'm sure, but
satisfying nonetheless!"
Emily and Matt.
"We were particularly gratified to be able to
organise a successful event that showed
Shropshire is the equal of anywhere in the
country. Our guests were unanimously
appreciative of the charms of Walcot and it's
surroundings and those that stayed at the Hall
were very comfortable. Most of all we
appreciated the help we received from you. One
of the most important contributions to the
friendly atmosphere was the way Walcot combines
the informality of a family home with the
efficiency of a well run venue."
