We have so much to offer at Eaton Manor for family celebrations.

If you’re planning one we can help you take care of it all, without any stress, or the need for taxis or designated drivers! Everything will come to you, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy it all.

Our guests have enjoyed all manner of additional services from celebration cakes (provided by our cake lady) to drop off suppers on arrival and celebration dinners in our stylish banqueting room (catered for by our private chefs).

Have-a-go archery sessions with our professional coach have been a big hit too and, of course, entertainment for the children, such as magic shows (which adults enjoy just as much), babysitting and childcare services, including face painting, allowing parents to have some valued ‘time off’ to enjoy treats such as afternoon tea, or indulge in a relaxing treatment at our on-site Wellness Centre.

We can also arrange a professional photographer, to capture your precious time with family and friends, as well as flowers, balloons and party decorations to add an extra touch to your special occasion.

We’ve seen some fantastic celebrations take place at Eaton Manor recently, including a variety of milestone birthdays – even a 100th birthday celebration!

Whatever you have in mind we are on hand to help everything go smoothly.

Should you want to venture out for the day, however, there are some wonderful places to visit in the local area.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

You may be wondering what Eaton Manor has to do with the International Space Station…well, one of our team, John, has recently volunteered his expertise as part of the UK ARISS Team (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station).  The UK ARISS team have set up a fantastic programme of contacts with the support of the UK Space Agency. This has facilitated school children from around the UK to speak directly to Major Tim Peake, the first British ESA astronaut to visit the International Space Station.

As if talking to a spaceman travelling 5 miles a second isn’t wow enough, the UK team have achieved a world first in the 16 year history of the ISS by having live and direct video via ‘Ham TV’ from orbit to the school pupils asking the questions. “Hi Tim give us a wave.” How cool is that!

John has been part of the UK ARISS team using skills from over 30 years’ experience as a radio amateur and from his former life in the RAF.

We have loved hearing all about John’s expeditions to the schools that have taken part, especially hearing the delightful questions some of the school children have asked, including wanting to know if there is space candy!  (We have learned that there is a candy draw on-board the ISS but it’s a secret, so please don’t tell anyone!)

As Tim’s Principia Mission comes to an end soon John is also coming back down to Earth after what has been a most thrilling and rewarding project. (In the 16 years that the space station has been in orbit there have been 14 UK contacts and John and the team have achieved a marathon 10 contacts during Tim’s mission)

You can find out more about the UK ARISS project here.

Other fun answers to some of the school children’s questions:

Tim has overslept, doesn’t change his trousers, has grown 2cm in 6 months and has to do his chores cleaning his room on a Saturday morning (just a big teenager really!)

We are delighted to be one of four finalists in the Tourism, Leisure & Hospitality category of the Shropshire Business Awards.

These prestigious annual awards celebrate all aspects of the Shropshire business industry, not just accommodation providers, and being shortlisted is a testament to the hard work and commitment from our in-house team at Eaton Manor.

The Tourism, Leisure & Hospitality category is for businesses in Shropshire demonstrating a positive contribution to the county through enhanced visitors and employment, as well as how they embrace adoption of technology.

The awards ceremony will be held on 24th June, so we are all keeping our fingers firmly crossed!
