Wedding Fayre
Sunday 16th September 2012
The wedding fayre will run from 11.00am and 4.00pm, offering help and advice from a team of experts who will help you plan the perfect day. We will welcome you with a reception drink, and you can experience free tasting of some of the Chef’s homemade soup, canapés and desserts. Visiting the venue in person will also enable you to view the Chez Maw Restaurant set up for a small wedding reception, and to see for yourself the stunning scenery the hotel has to offer, for those all important photographs.
Ironbridge Gorge Celebrates 25th Anniversary
2011 is a very special year for the Ironbridge Gorge, as it marks 25 years since it was designated as one of the UK’s first World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1986.
UNESCO said "Ironbridge is known throughout the world as the symbol of the Industrial Revolution. It contains all the elements of progress that contributed to the rapid development of this industrial region in the 18th century".
To celebrate the anniversay a special exhibition has been created at Jackfield Tile Museum. Fascinating photographs show the World Heritage Site area now and then and you too can be part of the exhibition by sharing your own personal memories of the World Heritage Site with us.

The Torch is coming to Ironbridge
It has been announced that the London 2012 Olympic torch will light up the Shropshire communities of Ludlow, Clee Hill and Cleobury Mortimer on 24th May, and on 30th May it will pass through Oswestry, Pant, Llanymynech, Shrewsbury, Cressage en route to the historic part of its journey as it passes through the former ancient Borough of Wenlock - including Benthall, Broseley, Ironbridge and Much Wenlock.
The flame’s historic journey through Wenlock honours the birthplace of William Penny Brookes, founder and inspiration of the revival of the modern Olympic movement. It also pays tribute to the many years of hard work given by the volunteer members of the Wenlock Olympian Society past and present who have maintained and preserved Brookes’ ideals.
