Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
We’ve chosen to keep our wedding day as an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives everyone the chance to relax and enjoy the festivities with us. This is with the exception of immediate family and babes in arms.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to limited capacity, we’re only able to accommodate those guests who are named on the invitation.
Question
Where can I park?
Answer
There are a few parking options available on the day (which may depend on how much rain we get): 1. Park at the church and walk There is parking available at and near St Peter's, with a designated area fenced off for wedding guests. As it can get busy due to the popular walking route, please allow a little extra time to find a space. From here, you can walk down to the lakeside after the ceremony (approx. 15 mins). 2. Park at the venue and walk up There is also parking available at Howtown Hotel if you’d prefer to leave your car there and walk up to the church for the ceremony (approx. 20 mins as it's uphill!), returning to the venue afterwards. 3. Park at the church then drive down to the venue You’re also very welcome to park at the church and then drive down to Howtown after the ceremony.
