Getting there

directions
& parking

The venue
By train

Trains run every hour from Ipswich. Taxis absolutely have to be pre-booked, as there will not be any available at the station.

Taxis

We won't be organising a shuttle. If you're not staying on site, taxis will need to be pre-booked. There's no Uber out here, so a couple of local firms worth calling: M&R Cars, Woodbridge is a good bet, and it's worth having a backup number to hand for a busy Saturday night.

One site

There's no need to drive between anywhere on the day, it's all in one place. Easy peasy.

Where to stay

staying
on site

A note

Although on-site accommodation covers two nights, there is no organised event happening on Friday night or Sunday morning, it's just a base to sleep from.

Check-in / out

Check-in is from 6pm on Friday. Check-out is by 11am on Sunday. If you're staying, you'll need to sort your own transport and dinner for Friday evening: either self-cater (all rooms have a small kitchenette) or head out to one of the spots listed below.

Nearby towns

If you're not staying on site, there are lovely places to stay nearby in Southwold, Walberswick and Aldeburgh. You're welcome to leave your car on site overnight and collect it the next day.

What to wear

dress
code

Smart & festive

Think summer wedding in the countryside. The ceremony and drinks will be outdoors if the weather is kind, so bear that in mind when it comes to footwear on grass. Beyond that, there's no strict code, wear whatever makes you feel wonderful and ready to celebrate.

If you'd like to

gifts

A note

Honestly, having you there to celebrate with us is the only gift we're after. We've been lucky enough to set up home together already, so instead of a traditional gift list, we've put together a small registry, but please don't feel the slightest obligation.

Our registry

We've set up a registry through The Wedding Shop, if you'd like to take a look.

Are children invited?
No children, I'm afraid, the day is adults only throughout.
Can I bring a plus one?
Plus ones are only included for those named on the invitation. If you have to ask, you haven't been given one, sorry, and thank you for understanding.
I've only been invited to the evening, what does that mean?
Evening guests are warmly invited to join us from around 7pm for cake, dancing and celebrations, once the wedding breakfast and speeches have finished. Do let us know you're coming via the RSVP form above.
