Is there parking onsite?

Question

Can cars be left in the car park overnight?

Answer

Rutland Water is happy for cars to be left in the car park overnight if you decide to take an alternative form of transport home or to nearby accommodation. Please let us know if this is likely so we can inform the teams. Your car can then be collected from 9.00am the following day. Car park exit tickets that were issued the day before will be valid the day after too.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is summer smart. We are pretty chilled about what you wear but ask that there is no denim. It is important to be aware that we are in a marquee on grass so please consider this for your footwear! We would also recommend you bring something warm.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer
