One of the most historic wedding venues in Shrewsbury

Three things: character, care and location.

While the bulk of our hotel was constructed in the 17th century, parts date back to the 1100s. Here, majestic Tudor beams, ornate oak panelling and mysterious nooks are part of daily life. As a backdrop for your big day, it's unparalleled.

The standard of our service, too, can feel like a relic from older times. Professionalism, politeness and attention to detail are second nature to our staff. You can expect the same care and attention when you choose us for your wedding. Nothing is too much trouble – and no detail is spared.

Finally, we're lucky to make our home in the heart of historic Shrewsbury, moments from the castle and directly opposite the majestic St Alkmund's Church. If you're here for the history, you won't find a better spot.

We cater for large and small parties alike. If you're celebrating with your nearest and dearest, we recommend the Rupert Lounge. This intimate yet spacious room seats up to 20 guests. Larger parties can use the spacious Darwin Suite or historic Royalist Restaurant. Both hold up to 90 guests.

There are plenty of photogenic spaces in our hotel – including the Royalist Restaurant, with its charming tapestries and suits of armour. For outdoor photos, you've got the magnificent St Alkmund's Church and our own Old Mansion House Courtyard on your doorstep.
