Is there a dress code for the wedding at Updown Farmhouse on Saturday?
Smart casual; we will be embracing the countryside look, but we want you to be comfortable. The vows will take place in the barn which is not heated, so please make sure you are warm.
Are all guests staying at the wedding venue?
Unfortunately, Updown has only a few rooms, so guests will be staying at various surrounding hotels.
Do you have any recommendations for places to stay?
We have stayed at the Pig in Bridge, which is a lovely hotel. We haven't tried any other venues but we would suggest the Dog in Wingham. Alternatively, we understand that there are rooms at the Duke William in the pretty village of Ickham.
All details of these hotels can be found on the Travel & Accommodation section of the website.
Is there parking available at Updown Farmhouse?
There is a small car park, but please be prepared that it can be a bit muddy underfoot if it has been particularly wet. Transport will be available - please visit the Travel & Accommodation section of the website.
What time will the last shuttle be from Updown on the Saturday?
The last shuttle will be departing at midnight for any guests not staying at Updown.
What time will the bar close on the Saturday?
In accordance with the terms of the venue's license, the bar will close at 11pm.
Is there a gift list?
After twenty years together, we have asked for no gifts and are already appreciative of the efforts you are making to join us for our celebrations.
Who can I contact if I have any questions at all?
