Questions
If you cannot find your answer here, write to us.
Guests
Are children invited?
Yes, to the whole weekend if they are named on your invitation. We have a children's plate at dinner, a quiet corner in the orangery with colouring, and a babysitter in the evening from 8 pm. If your children are not on the RSVP page, please write to us before you decide.
Can I bring a plus-one?
Your invitation says exactly who is invited. If it says 'and guest', we would love to meet them: please add their name on the RSVP page. If it does not, we are keeping numbers small by the capacity of the barn, and we hope you understand.
The day
What should I wear?
Garden formal for Saturday: light suits and dresses, soft colours, flat or block heels because of the lawn. We have asked everyone to leave white and ivory for the bride. Friday and Sunday are relaxed.
What is the plan if it rains?
The ceremony moves into the glass orangery, which holds everyone comfortably. Drinks move into the barn. The day goes on exactly as planned, just a little drier. We will send a message at 9 am on Saturday if we have to switch.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We would love an unplugged ceremony, so please keep phones in pockets until we have said our vows. After that, post away and use the hashtag #ClaraAndTomSayYes.
Getting there
Is there parking?
Yes, a field next to the barn with space for around sixty cars, marked with a green flag. We would encourage you to share a car or use the shuttle, especially if you plan to enjoy the evening.
Do I need to book the shuttle?
No booking needed. The timetable is on the Travel page. The last bus back to the hotels and the station leaves at 1 am.
Is the venue step-free?
The barn, the orangery and the ceremony lawn are all step-free. The lawn is grass, so a wheelchair user may prefer the gravel path, which we have marked. Please tell us on the RSVP form if you need anything.
Gifts
Do you have a gift list?
Your presence is the gift. If you would like to give something anyway, our Registry has a honeymoon fund and a short list of things we would use every day. There is no obligation and no wrong answer.
Replies
When do I have to reply by?
By 1 July 2027, so that we can confirm numbers with the caterer. If you need to change your answer later, use the RSVP page again or write to us.
