Accommodation

There are three options for accommodation at our wedding:

1. We would love for you to stay in the on-site Bell Tent Village! You can either book a made up bell tent or an un-furnished bell tent and bring your own bedding, pillows & towels. There is a maximum of 4 people per tent and you can book these below.

2. Or, you can bring your own camper van and/or tents and book a pitch. It’s £65 per pitch (up to four people per pitch).

3. Stay in local accommodation in the surrounding area. Wilde Lodge has prepared some suggestions below.

If you’re a day guest planning to join us in the Bell Tent Village or book a pitch, you’re welcome to arrive at Wilde Lodge from 11:00 to settle in, enjoy the surroundings and soak up the atmosphere. There will be onsite shower facilities as well as a large tent equipped with enough mirrors and electricity for everyone so you can all get ready together!

While food won’t be available onsite until the Canapes and Wedding Dinner, there are places to eat in the local towns — Knighton, Presteigne or Bucknell.

If you are an evening guest, we’d still love for you to stay in the Bell Tent Village! You’re welcome to arrive from 6:30pm to find your tent and drop off your bags.

Dress Code

The usual summer wedding attire but a couple of things to note:

– It’s quite an outdoorsy venue so no stilettos, unless you’re feeling brave. Maybe bring some flip flops or comfy shoes too.

– It’s Wales and it’ll be evening, so a couple of layers wouldn’t go amiss, especially for stargazing around the fire pits.

Gifts

Your presence is gift enough and we genuinely mean that.

Transport

There is ample parking onsite.

Guests not staying on site must vacate the premises at 1am.

If you are staying off-site and need a taxi, please make sure to book taxis well in advance as the venue is in the countryside. There is no Uber so we recommend pre-booking with Owens motors (01547 528303) or use the taxis suggestions link at the bottom of the page.

If you are coming via train, there are train stations in the nearby villages of Knighton and Bucknell.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!!
