Logistical info:
We will be co-ordinating taxis at the end of the night, if you're staying in Norwich or thereabouts, to get everybody home (but if you want to leave earlier, you can organise your own transport no problem)
It's fine to leave your cars at the venue overnight
You can come to pick them up any time between 9am-midday on the Sunday morning
"There will be wine and cheese"
How to get there
There are regular trains from London (Liverpool Street Station) to Norwich which take just under 2 hours
The Octagon Barn is about 15 minutes by taxi from Norwich train station
(If you're arriving by train let us know and we can link you up with other people to taxi pool)
There is also a bus the 33/33A from Norwich to Little Plumstead, but bear in mind the Octagon Barn is just outside the edge of the village and so this is a 45 minute walk
There will be on-site parking available for anybody driving
Accommodation
We suggest booking this early (ie. now!) for the Saturday night as Norwich is a popular place in the summer - sadly nobody has been willing to recognise that our wedding is the priority over their holidays for this weekend :(
Some suggestions:
Norwich Premier Inns (assortment)
Plus a whole load of other places, AirBnBs etc.!
Cool so will we be getting actual invites?
Yes actual invites will be on their way... they're a bit delayed but will be coming!
Until then please do fill out your menu choices below!
What about children?
Generally in order to manage numbers we're keeping it broadly child free but please let us know directly if this causes you difficulty.
Will there be a dress code?
Up to you - but we suggest bright colours!
RSVP below
Is there a gift registry?
Yes - but please do not feel obliged!!
First and foremost - nobody is obliged to get us any gift! Your presence on the day will be gift enough.
However quite a few people have asked and so we have put together an online registry list of (entirely food-related - surprise surprise!) things people can chip into (as much or little as you'd like), to help make our lives tastier (and probably us fatter!).
There's also the option to chip into an 'Art Fund' which we'll put towards us getting a printed wedding photo album from the photographers.
PS. If you come round ours in the future, we commit to feeding you using these tools - except for the photo album which, if you're lucky, we will not feed you, but rather use to bore you stiff with soppy reminiscences!
Le Menu
Please let us know your food choices for the main meal - if you are replying for more than one person please fill out the form twice with the relevant name.
Points of information:
> If you told us you needed gluten-free food when you RSVP'd - the caterers have assured us that can be done for all these dishes (plus canapes etc.), and we already have this info so just pick what you want.
> Please note the meat options are not halal, please select a vegetarian option if needed
