Walcot Hall is a private rural estate set within 30 acres of grounds with picturesque views of the Shropshire Hills. Boasting one of Britain’s finest and most eclectic arboretums, the venue has plenty of accommodation to choose from, including 15 self-catering holiday cottages, 10 glamping pods, yurts, shepherds’ huts, the Dipping Shed and Wheelwright’s Shop. Walcot also has an on-site pub, The Powis Arms, right by the front gates that champions seasonal menus and local suppliers.

Celebrate in style
Choose between three indoor spaces and an additional outdoor option, which are all licensed for civil ceremonies. The Main Hall features marble columns, an ornate ceiling and a floating staircase sweeping into the entrance hall. This room is included in the venue hire for up to three hours and will seat up to 120 loved ones.

The Ballroom and Anteroom are separated from the Main Hall by a private courtyard. The Anteroom is perfect for an intimate ceremony of less than 50 guests, and the Ballroom, which dates back to 1800, has room for 120 friends and family. The Ballroom can be hired for 48 hours, along with accommodation for up to 110 guests, meaning Walcot Hall can be transformed into your own wedding village to make the most of the time spent with your close friends and family.

Ceremonies can be conducted anywhere on the grounds, and there is a licensed Summer House available on the private lawn.

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

With peak wedding season approaching, experts are warning couples not to rely on AI to write one of the most personal parts of their big day – their vows. A survey by jewellers Queensmith has revealed that more than half (55%) of UK brides and grooms are now using AI tools to help write their wedding vows and speeches, raising questions about authenticity, originality and even potential legal grey areas. The findings come amid a growing debate around AI-written vows after a registrar in the eastern Netherlands saw a marriage called into question when AI was used to help write the ceremony script. In the case, the District Court of Overijssel ruled that "no marriage has been established" after it emerged the registrar had relied on ChatGPT to draft parts of the ceremony. The case has sparked wider concerns that AI-generated wording could unintentionally mirror existing vows or scripts found online, raising questions about originality and authenticity.
