Answer

No transport will be provided. Petersons is approximately 5 minutes from Armidale. We recommend organising maxi taxis to and from the venue.

Question

Are there COVID-19 restrictions in place at the venue?

Answer

Yes, unfortunately the current restrictions mean we cannot have all our guests seated in the main hall for the reception. The reception hall is split into three sections. While we can have a maximum of 70 people within the space, guests will need to be divided across the rooms. There will be marshals there to help guide guests on the night. We will provide a COVID-19 update closer to the date.
