Could there be a more romantic place than Shropshire to get married? You’ve found England’s landlocked, enchanting county, bordered by Wales and four English counties. Shropshire is both rural and majestic – lots of green land, ‘blue remembered hills’ and big skies. Our county is the perfect backdrop to your wedding pictures and the perfect beginning to your happily ever after. Historians believe King Arthur and Guinevere married in Shropshire – or rather the royal couple from which romantic Arthurian legend is derived. The real King Arthur is believed to have been Owain Ddantgwyn, ‘the Bear’, a warrior king of the Votadini trible who ruled his kingdom from Viroconium (now Wroxeter, Shropshire). His lady, Ganhumara, came from Oswestry. Whatever style of wedding you envision, a Shropshire wedding venue exists to make your dreams come true. Shropshire has castles, stately homes and manor houses for lavish wedding celebrations. Several Shropshire country house hotels offer exclusive use for weddings. And check out Shropshire’s stunning gardens for post-ceremony drinks and photographs. Getting married in a gourmet county such as Shropshire means your wedding breakfast is bound to be special too. You don’t need a big wedding, of course, to have a beautiful day. Shropshire is blessed with many intimate wedding venues – some quirky, each one charming – to help you and your partner plan the wedding that reflects your personalities. Congratulations on your engagement…now, let’s get you married in Shropshire!

Embark on an extraordinary half-term adventure at the enchanting Hawkstone Park Follies! 🌲✨
This hidden gem invites you to explore a sprawling landscape filled with magical surprises. Hawskstone Park Follies are offering 50% off general admission from February 9th to 18th, making it the perfect opportunity to uncover the mysteries that await.
Set in 100 acres of Parkland The Follies is a range of dramatic and rugged natural sandstone hills that were developed to include gullies, caves, towers and bridges, becoming one of the most visited landscapes in Britain during the 19th Century. However, throughout the 20th Century this romantic landscape became forgotten, overgrown and ruinous, unvisited by all but the locals.
Now recognised as a Masterpiece of the School of Naturalistic Landscape and designated as a Grade I listed landscape by English Heritage, this magical and exhilarating landscape had a new lease of life with a multi-million pound restoration project enabling it to reopen to visitors in 1993. Overgrown but never fully forgotten, pathways were cleared, gullies reopened and handrails reinstalled to allow visitors to enjoy the spectacular views and surprises that The Follies reveals around every corner.
Friends of the Follies can also enjoy special annual pass upgrade offers available at the gate, ensuring that the magic doesn`t end after one visit!
