    Wedding breakfast
    Guests will be invited to take their seats for the start of the Wedding Breakfast held in the apple orchard, weather permitting. We hope the weather will be kind to us, but this being England we cannot guarantee it. As the orchard is situated within a walled garden, still conditions can be expected. Please do keep an eye on the forecast and bring warm layers if needed.

    Hand waving farewell
    The day's festivities will draw to a close at midnight. For those still partying, we will say our farewells and make our way to the tree-house in the grounds. Please do come and wave us on our way. Although the bar will close, you are more than welcome to sit and finish your drinks in the house or gardens. However, please do join us for breakfast at 10:00 in the morning so the party can carry on!
