Soulton's function rooms & spaces
OverviewSituated within 500 acres of our own private farmland we have welcomed a diverse range of events, as well as meetings and conferences.
The quite atmosphere here is useful for those seeking a retreat from routine pressures, and space to think and co-operate effectively. As for events, we've welcomed:
a VW Golf launch, with Red Arrows Fly past;
a corporate celebration for 500 with a BBQ and It's a Knockout in the grounds;
Car experiences with off road around the farm;
Painting schools;
training events which have required the use of pyrotechnics etc;
Open air theatrical performances;
If you have particular requirements of the sort above, do please get in touch to discuss them.
Soulton has a very open site, with a good deal of outside space (including two walled gardens). Public rooms are split between thee two historic buildings which complement each other in their respective atmosphers of manour house refinement and converted barn practicality.
Long Room, Soulton Court
The Long Room is located in Soulton Court, a converted barn dating from at least 1780
Sited on the ground floor and facing south this room can accommodate up to 120, and is fully accessible to this disabled. The Room has five large glazed doors along its south wall, giving the room a cloistered feeling and providing abundant natural light and summer ventilation. There is also a massive double fronted log burner.
The Long Room has a stone flagged floor and an original timbered ceiling. It has a broad terrace with a lavender hedge and a view over the White Garden and across Soulton Hall.
The Tallet, Soulton Court
Completed in 2010, this airy barn loft space can accommodate up to 60. It has a new bespoke oak staircase, and oak floor both installed by craftsmen from the Crown Guild of Wood Carvers. It has been used as an exhibition space, a painting studio as well as for more routine conference needs.
The Drift House, Soulton Court
Although not strictly a function room, this ''outdoor-indoor space'' (an enclosed 30foot archway, with heating and lighting) open directly into the White Garden. It is a popular space for informal BBQs, and a useful area for contingencies if outdoor events are compromised by the weather.
The Corbet Bar, Soulton Court
We have two bars here. The Corbet Bar, like the Long Room, is on the ground floor of Soulton Court. It too has large glazed doors opening directly onto the terrace. There is exposed brickwork and a stone floor.
The Buttery, Soulton Hall
The buttery is located in the oldest part of Soulton Hall, and dates from about 1420. It has an enormous fifteenth century inglenook fireplace, and exposed stone and brickwork. It is a quiet room down a flight of steps from the principal floor of the house, and totally 'out-of-the-way'.
The buttery has a double aspect and large windows. It faces south and looks out, over a compass-patterned cobbled yard, across the fields to Soulton Wood
The Hall, Soulton Hall
A large sitting room with sofas, an inglenook fireplace, and massive stone windows.
The Lydia Grace Room, Soulton Hall
The Lydia Grace Room is an elegant room with vast mullioned windows, original oak floor boards and a spectacular carved wooden fireplace (believed to be the work of Grinling Gibbons).
The Bar, Soulton Hall
Soulton Hall has a cosy beamed Bar, with stone mullioned windows and leaded glazing, looking across the farm to Soulton Wood.
The Grounds and Farm
Two walled gardens, pasture fields, 2 miles of water course, 50 acre oak woodland, and large arable acreage. Over a mile of private farm roadways. Has been useful in hosting clay shooting, archery. It's a knockout and other events.
