If you want to make an outing of it but not everyone in your group wants to hear a Marches of Time talk, why not add a Gardens & Falconry Entry for them; then watch the re-enactors & falconry together, explore the grounds, buy tasty homemade refreshments & barista coffee or picnic between talks.
Event will go ahead in all but the very worst of weather. This is a garden event with uneven paths etc. Children under 5 go free. Well behaved dogs on leads welcome with owners who clean up after them.
Stokesay Court stands as a significant cultural asset in Shropshire, its grand Victorian architecture a testament to a rich past that extends beyond private residence. Having served as an Auxiliary Military Hospital during the First World War and a Junior Leaders' School in the Second, it has long contributed to the national narrative, offering a tangible link to historical events and providing a source of collective pride for the region.
Within its walls, the atmosphere is one of enduring elegance, where the soft glow of early electric light once illuminated opulent gatherings. The substantial oak and polished stone surfaces retain the echoes of generations, inviting contemplation of the lives lived and stories unfolded within this remarkable setting.
The estate encompasses meticulously designed gardens by Henry Ernest Milner, with sweeping lawns that descend towards distant views of the Clee Hills. While house tours transition to a new chapter, the grounds remain accessible for special occasions, often complemented by refreshments such as afternoon tea with home baking, ensuring a welcoming experience.
Throughout the year, Stokesay Court hosts a diverse array of engagements, from historical talks and musical performances to garden picnics and themed seasonal gatherings. Its distinguished setting has also drawn national attention as a backdrop for significant film productions and artistic endeavours.
