Q + A

When should I get to the venue?

Our ceremony starts at 3pm sharp so please arrive at least 20 to 30 minutes beforehand. The bar will be open so you are welcome to enjoy a drink while you wait.

I'm coming from abroad/far away, where can I stay?

There are 14 suites located in our venue. These are only available on the day and night of our wedding and include a fully cooked breakfast in the morning. (You can access your room from 2:00pm on the day and checkout is at 10:30am the following day). It is £165 per a room plus £12.50 per extra person for breakfast. There is an additional cost of £50 if you need extra beds in the room for kids. If you'd like to book this, please contact either Lydia or Aaron so we can insure you get a suite as it's likely that all of these will be booked up! The venue will not be taking individual bookings. Once these are full, we would recommend the following lovely nearby hotels and lodgings.

What the heck is "Elegant Summer Wedding Attire"?

In short-whatever you'd like it to be! We recommend bright colours and patterns that go with our beautiful venue!

What about the kiddos?

The children (who we are so looking forward to having there on our day!) will have the following A separate children's menu Some options for insured babysitters so Mum and Dad can relax in the evening (contact Lydia if you'd like more information on this) There are lots of animals around our venue and the venue will provide transport for the kids to go see them. Please contact us if you'd like any further information or support about catering for your little bambinos

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We'd kindly ask you to refrain from taking pictures during the actual ceremony (YES I'M LOOKING AT YOU PETER JONES!) as we'll have photographers getting some lovely photos.

What about food and drinks?

We have lots of food to keep away the h-anger (hungry anger)! There are canapes straight after the ceremony which will be at about 3:30pm-5:00pm. We will then have our Wedding Breakfast at 5pm. This will then be followed by delicious bites throughout the evening like mini fish and chips, sliders and skewers. We will also have a fully stocked bar for you to enjoy as well as wines, beer and fizz throughout the day.
