Celebrate with us!
Hello!
We will have been married 15 years in August and we would like to celebrate with as many loved ones as possible.
We are going to have a little ceremony in the field to renew our vows to each other, followed by food and drinks and later music and dancing!
Saturday 29th August
We will be starting at 3pm, intending to finish at midnight.
Children are very welcome, Jess will be there but we will be partying so if you want to leave them at home please do.
Please RSVP by June 1st so we can book catering
Please fill in this form.
All we are asking is people bring something to drink, for you or to share. We’ll be making margaritas!
Please note if are you are not staying on site and are drinking you will need to book a taxi in advance. (numbers below)
Places to stay
For those coming from afar… We have space for campers, and have hot showers and a camp kitchen in the field. Just let us know as soon as possible so we know how much space we will need.
Herefordshire has so many shepherds huts and little hideaways if you want to make a weekend of it we recommend looking on Canopy and Stars and Airbnb.
A friend manages this one and can get a better price than Airbnb:

Things to do
If you want to stay and enjoy some quiet time Herefordshire feels very unspoilt, it is all about the simple pleasures here.
We can recommend great walks, rivers and lakes to swim in and pretty market towns to get coffee and food.
There are also these places local to us:
Queenswood - cute Gruffalo walks, playground and great chips!
Hampton Court Castle - beautiful gardens and cafe
Ludlow Castle - Ludlow also has lots of great cafes, delis and little shops
Malvern Hills - amazing views from these hills, walk as little or as much as you want there are lots of car parks near summits
And Ludlow, Ledbury, Malvern, Leominster and Hereford have cute coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants - we have our favourites we can recommend!
These towns are 15 to 30 mins away from us.
