Things to Do

The Wedding Day

"When a wedding invite says “black tie,” it usually means that&nbsp;the wedding party will wear black tuxedos with white dress shirts, cummerbunds, and a bow tie. It also means that the couple-to-be wants you to follow suit (pun intended)." This really means it is a great excuse to dress to impress. Think smart suits big hats and great frocks. If you do not own a tuxedos hiring is always a good option as well as websites such as Vinted. If not a smart suit and tie will be fine. We can't wait to see you all dress up and ready to celebrate with us.

PLEASE AVOID WEARING WHITE OR ANY SOLID BLACK DRESSES.

Pool day 

If you are attending the pool day on the 10th please bring your own beach towel and swimwear if you are planning to swim. There is no pressure on this day if you want to explore the area or just pop in thats absolutely fine. The day will be very calm and chilled. (sore heads i'd imagine)
