Events and Services
All events and stays at Solton Manor are delivered in a way that respects and supports diversity. We aim to make our venue accessible and inclusive for all guests and work closely with couples and suppliers to ensure that cultural, religious, dietary and accessibility needs are met with care and sensitivity.
Solton Manor is a venue with history and heart.
First recorded in the Domesday Book, the national census of 1086, the estate has stood for centuries as part of England’s evolving story. Today, as a proudly Jewish-owned and family-run business, we celebrate that long-standing heritage while embracing modern values of openness, inclusion and equality.
We understand the importance of tradition, family and storytelling. Whether you’re planning a multi-faith ceremony, a same-sex celebration, a cultural fusion or an event, we are here to support your unique journey.
We welcome all couples, clients and guests of every background, faith, identity and orientation, and take pride in providing a setting where everyone feels truly seen, respected and celebrated.
Our historic estate is also equipped to accommodate accessibility needs where possible, and we’re happy to work with you to ensure all guests can enjoy the day comfortably. Please note currently we do not have any disabled accommodation on the ground floor. If you or any of your guests have particular requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact us before your event.
Within our team and among those we work with, we promote a culture of inclusion, support and professional respect. All employees and representatives are expected to uphold these values and contribute to a positive and welcoming environment.
We provide training and guidance where needed to ensure that everyone understands their responsibilities under this policy.
