Keeping you dry on your wedding weekend
Most weekends during April – September tend to be dry. Of course we can’t guarantee this, as much as we’d like to! Luckliy you have the marquee to socialise, dance, eat and drink in all weather light and very spacious.
There are also two large Woodsman’s Awnings pretty close by for further use to socialise under and sit down. Some couples in the past have hired another awning/large tent from www.tents4elemnets.co.uk to be pitched outside the marquee. Some couples have done this with weeks to go until their wedding, if the weather looks changeable.
For your marriage ceremony we have white sails in the trees so whatever the weather you can be married outside within the trees. The guests will need umbrellas though. If you wish to fix more sails within the trees you may do so.
