Earlier today, the air at Soulton Hall was filled with the gentle spirit of giving as we were honoured to host a special fundraising walk in support of the incredible Macmillan Cancer Support and the Shrewsbury Macmillan Fundraising Group. Embracing the beauty of the “As You Like It” wood at its bluebell peak, participants strolled through nature’s splendour, mirroring the play’s themes of finding solace and connection in the natural world.
Macmillan Cancer’s AS YOU LIKE IT fundraising walk At Soulton, 2025
It was a privilege to play a small part in this meaningful event, witnessing the community come together to support such a vital cause. The delicate bluebells provided a stunning backdrop for an afternoon dedicated to hope and solidarity.
Shakespeare Quote on a sign in the AS YOU LIKE IT wood at Soulton: And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every thing.
I would not change it.
We eagerly await the announcement of the total funds raised by the Shrewsbury Macmillan Fundraising Group. Every step taken today will contribute to the invaluable support Macmillan provides to individuals and families affected by cancer.

As Shakespeare wisely wrote, “Let gentleness my strong enforcement be.” The kindness and generosity shown today are a powerful testament to the strength of compassion.
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this wonderful occasion.
Amazing plant stall at the Macmillan fundraiser!
