FAQ
Gifts
All we want is your presence!
For those asking about gifts, though very kind, your presence is more than enough. Many of you are travelling from afar to spend the day with us so the most we can ask for and the biggest gift to us will be seeing you on the day.
Kids
Babes-in-arms
Although we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only occasion and we are unfortunately unable to accommodate children other than babes-in-arms (Norwegian: Spedbarn). We hope that this advance notice means that you are still able to share our special day with us.
Dress code
Black-tie optional
Tuxes and long dresses are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.
Things to do
Bath
Explore Bath, a historic city renowned for its Roman baths and Bath Spa. The Spa offers a rooftop pool with stunning city views. Wander the picturesque streets, sip coffee along The Corridor, admire Georgian and Roman architecture at the Crescent, the Circus, or the Abbey. Enjoy a pint of Bath's finest "Bath Ale" at pubs like the Hope Pole. For those wanting something more active, embark on the scenic 10km Bath Skyline walk for breathtaking valley views. Delve into British fiction history at The Jane Austen Centre, transporting you back to Georgian times in Bath, the author's former home.
Bradford-on-Avon
Bradford-on-Avon is a delightful town in Wiltshire. If you join the walking tour, we will show you the best sights and view points on offer. However, if staying a little longer, Bradford is lovely for walks along the river and the canal - a highlight being the trip to Avoncliff with coffee at No. 10. The Saxon Church, Tithe Barn, Town Bridge and the Shambles are the attractions with nice cafes dotted all over - Little Rituals is our favourite. For panoramic views, a walk up to St. Mary's Chapel is recommended.
Stonehenge and more
If you are looking for something more quintessentially British, then you can't go wrong with the short drive to Castle Combe or Lacock. Both are cosy Cotswold towns with nice walking and eating options, Lacock heavily featuring in the Harry Potter movies. The other main attractions of the area are the stone circles of Avebury and, more famously, Stonehenge. Both are a worthwhile diversion if driving back from Wiltshire towards London.
