We are are thrilled to share that MyShrewsbury has published a wonderful article spotlighting our upcoming event, ‘Erkenwald: An Immersive Reading at Soulton Hall.’
We’re incredibly grateful to MyShrewsbury for their support in helping us bring attention to this unique and historically significant literary event.
The article beautifully captures the essence of ‘Erkenwald,’ an epic Middle English poem with strong ties to Shropshire. It highlights the rare opportunity to experience this haunting and profound tale in its original 14th-century form, brought to life by the talented voice actor Harry Frost. We are so pleased that MyShrewsbury has been able to help us share the story of this poem, and its local connections.

As the article notes, this event offers a chance to immerse oneself in the myths, legends, and sacred tales of medieval England, and to celebrate the rich literary heritage of our region. It’s a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the importance of preserving our cultural treasures.
We extend our sincere thanks to MyShrewsbury for their dedication to showcasing local events and supporting the arts. We encourage everyone to read the article to learn more about ‘Erkenwald’ and join us on April 27th at 2 pm for this special literary experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to this and other events at Soulton!
