Alton Castle has been used many weddings over recent years, as well as being the location for wedding photography workshops. The site is stunning, with views over the Churnet Valley, the use of our 19th century gothic-revival castle (designed by the architect Pugin), complete with grand dining room, and the backdrop of the ruins of the 12th century medieval castle in our grounds. The castle can accommodate over 80 guests, and our dining room can seat 100+. We can also offer ample parking for use of your guests.
Soli, formerly known as The Lord Shrewsbury, a hotel which was originally owned by the Earls of Shrewsbury, is our centre which offers conference facilities. We have two conference rooms available for hire. The small conference room offers 50 delegates, whereas the large offers 100. Both can be setup in a boardroom style if requested. Both of our rooms offer:
