The Walk

Many of you will have come quite a way to be with us, so we didn't want to just send you off with a croissant and a wave. Come and join us for a gentle stomp through the Cotswolds to blow away the cobwebs.

Think golden stone villages, sheep judging you silently, and hopefully a bit of crisp December air. It'll be about an hour of easy walking — nothing that requires any special training, just sensible shoes.

Afterwards, Burford's High Street has no shortage of lovely spots to grab a coffee, a late breakfast, or a hair-of-the-dog if that's more your speed before heading home.

Let us know if you'll be joining on the RSVP form so we can get a rough headcount.

Frequently Asked

Questions

We'd love everyone in black tie — gentlemen in bow ties, ladies in long dresses. The bridal party will be in navy, so if you haven't bought your outfit yet, maybe give that shade a miss. But if navy is already hanging in your wardrobe, please don't stress — we're just delighted you're there.
Oh yes. Canapés during the drinks reception, a full wedding breakfast at 4:30pm — and then, in a plot twist nobody saw coming, pizza in the evening.
We're keeping it adults-only, with the exception of immediate family and any newborn babies too tiny to travel without.
Weather permitting, we'll head out for some photos and sparklers after dark — fitting, given that Ben asked Sarah out on Bonfire Night. The rest of the day is cosily indoors, so no need to worry about the December chill.
Nope — our lovely bridesmaids have that covered!
Absolutely! We do have two brilliant photographers capturing the day, so the one time we ask you to put phones away is during the ceremony itself. After that, snap to your heart's content.
Yes — this is important! Signal at the venue is basically zero, so you won't be able to book on the night. Please arrange your ride home in advance and aim for a 12:30am pick-up. Local taxi numbers are listed below:
