From 3pm
Camping on site and the campsite opens from Thursday.
This part of the party is on a grass field. There is shelter in the form of a marquee and seating ( some posh , some bales ) but I won't be wearing my newest Jimmy Choo's as they could get dirty.
At the moment the forecast is difficult to interpret but if it's going to rain then it could get muddy so keep an eye on it and use your noggin when you pack. Changes of outfits are celebrated.
children?
The whole day will be family friendly with activities for everyone. In the evening there will be a kids cinema tent which will convert to a chill out zone for adults near to the tents so they can watch over their little ones whilst also chatting to their friends.
So please do bring them if you have them and you want to, but we also understand and appreciate the joys and delights of an adults only weekend away so the choice is yours!
getting here
Transportation
We know lots of you will have to travel from afar and so we thought we'd kick off with the formal ceremony bit at 2 and then have the party start around 3. We hope this will allow for some travel time that day.
We have some car parking here and we are encouraging people to come and camp so if you have campers etc then please do bring them.
There is a train station at Howden that has good London and Manchester links. We can arrange a pick up for you if you let us know what time you'll be arriving.
Accommodation
Accommodation is thin in this area so we've asked a glamping company to come and put up bell tents with made-up beds, lights etc so you can slide into this at the end of the night. We hope this will also reduce the need for babysitters etc if you can bring the sprogs. The whole day will be family friendly so please do consider it but we also understand the joys and delights of a weekend away without them, the choice is yours!
The cost for a 4 berth is £185 so if you'd like to book one then let us know in the RSVP form and we'll allocate one to you. This will have to be on a first come first served basis but if you let us know now then there's more chance for us to order more.
Other Accommodation
There is some accommodation in the area but we have booked a lot of it for our more elderly family.
If you don't want to camp then feel free to find alternatives but be aware that there are two taxi's in the area (their names are Gordon and Sarah) and they will be fairly booked up, taking people that live round here home.
Please, please, please don't think you can find accommodation a few weeks beforehand as there is unlikely to be any and we really want you to come and enjoy the weekend with us.
gifts
Please don't get us any gifts and focus on getting yourselves to the party. We are providing booze but if you don't like beer or Pimms then please feel free to bring a bottle or two of what you like.
If you really would like to get us a gift then we are trying to buy some garden furniture and so a donation towards that would be very welcome, thank you.
