Tucked away within the historic grounds of Solton Manor, Finet’s Glade is an intimate woodland ceremony space where nature and your creativity come together in perfect harmony.
Imagine a quiet glade where mature trees and lush greenery form a natural cathedral, their branches weaving a canopy overhead. The woodland floor, softened with bark and leaves and framed by ferns and rhododendrons, creates a setting filled with tranquillity, where your love story unfolds in the heart of nature.
Whether you are drawn to the woodland aesthetic or wish for a wedding filled with romance, intimacy, and a sense of quiet wonder, Finet’s Woodland Glade offers a setting unlike any other.
Finet’s Woodland Glade is named in honour of Sir John Finet (1571–1641), a distinguished courtier born at Solton Manor. As Master of Ceremonies to James I and Charles I, Sir John orchestrated grand occasions filled with poetry, music, and theatrical pageantry. His upbringing at Solton Manor, a place of beauty and refinement, undoubtedly shaped his appreciation for meaningful gatherings.
Now, centuries later, Finet’s Woodland Glade continues this spirit of artistry and celebration. Couples who marry here are surrounded by nature and become part of Solton Manor’s enduring legacy of love stories and memorable moments.
At Solton Manor, now couples can choose from two distinct outdoor licensed ceremony spaces, each offering a unique charm and atmosphere.
