Solton Manor Unveils The Old Stables as a New Indoor Ceremony Room

Solton Manor, one of Kent's most historic and picturesque country house wedding venues, nestled between Dover and Deal, is delighted to announce an exciting new addition for 2025.

The much-loved Old Stables, located in the heart of the estate adjacent to the Dutch Barn, has been thoughtfully converted into a stunning indoor ceremony room. This new addition enhances an already exceptional wedding venue, offering couples an elegant and versatile space to exchange their legal vows or blessings with up to 130 guests indoors.

The transformation underscores Solton Manor's continued commitment to enhancing the experience for its couples and guests. Set within nine acres of countryside and steeped in over 1000 years of history, the Old Stables now offers an all-weather indoor option while retaining its original charm, including striking flint walls, original beams, and a newly laid York flagstone floor for timeless appeal.

As more couples seek flexible ceremony options and peace of mind, this space now provides a perfect Plan B for inclement weather or a romantic winter wedding. The Old Stables offers the best of both worlds, modern comfort blended with heritage character.

This exciting project was made possible with support from Dover District Council, who awarded Solton Manor £30,403 as part of the UK Government's Rural England Prosperity Fund, one of 15 local businesses selected for funding.

With a capacity of up to 130 guests, The Old Stables is now a year-round ceremony space. Wedding and Events Coordinator Jackie is excited to showcase the new addition to both new and returning couples.
