A North Shropshire country estate with links to Shakespeare’s much-loved play As You Like It will be the setting for a delightful woodland walk to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The walk at Soulton Hall, near Wem on Sunday, May 5, coincides with the best time to see the woodland bluebell display.
“Although a few of the plays had been circulated previously, this was the first publication of As You Like It.”He remodelled and extended it into the Tudor building which we see today and which is still occupied by his descendants. The play also features a dance, the intricacies of which are illustrated in a complex pattern laid out in a centuries-old courtyard pavement adjacent to the Soulton Hall.“We were aware of the beautiful bluebell wood at Soulton Hall but had no idea of its illustrious connections until we met Tim and are excited that he will be sharing it with the public,” said Gillian Eleftheriou, a volunteer with the Shrewsbury Macmillan Fundraising Group.
“It will be a very special occasion and sure to be popular, so I’d advise people to book quickly as tickets are limited in number.”
