We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Rarety Emporium, a new local business based in Wem.

Rarety Emporium has kindly accepted a commission to create a collection of coasters featuring the beautiful dance pavement for Soulton Hall, celebrating our associations with Shakespeare’s beloved play, As You Like It.

The dance pavement at Soulton Hall is a unique and historic feature of the house.

For many reasons Soulton Hall is the birthplace and home of As You Like It.

The play tells the story of a group who are exiled to the forest and ultimately find love, harmony.

The coasters created by Rarety Emporium capture the essence of the dance pavement and its connection to Shakespeare’s play.

These beautiful and functional items will be perfect for enjoying a cup of tea or coffee while admiring the historic surroundings of Soulton Hall.

We are thrilled to be supporting Rarety Emporium, a talented local business, and we look forward to sharing the finished coasters with our visitors.
