Solton Manor’s new manager

Historic wedding venue Solton Manor has announced a major programme of investment alongside the appointment of Rebecca Wise as General Manager, marking a signi cant new chapter for the centuries-old estate.

Located near Dover and rst recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, Solton Manor continues to expand its exclusive-use wedding offering through a series of enhancements designed to provide couples with greater exibility and choice. Among the latest developments is the restoration of The Old Stables, transformed into an elegant indoor ceremony space by designer Michelle Shakallis. During the renovation, a historic farm bell was discovered and reinstated above the estate's Bell Tower Barn, where it now symbolically marks the beginning of wedding celebrations rather than the end of the working day. The venue's ongoing improvements include the creation of Finet's Glade, a dedicated woodland ceremony space accommodating up to 200 guests, expanded outdoor ceremony options, increased capacity within the Dutch Barn, and the refurbishment of both the Dutch Barn Bar and Dovecote Cottage, now a luxury two-bedroom retreat. Additional enhancements include a new accessible ground- oor bedroom within the Bell Tower Barn and the redecoration of key rooms throughout the Manor House. With its blend of historic character and continued investment, Solton Manor is reinforcing its position as one of Kent's most distinctive countryside wedding destinations.
