The Big Day!:
So good news, we are having the ceremony and the reception at the same place. Both will take place at Voewood. The ceremony is at 2pm. It would be awesome if our day guests could be there from 1pm and our evening partiers are with us from 7pm onward.
Its a Cash Bar!:
So, lets kick off with the most important bit, how do I get booze? In the evening there will be a Cash Only Bar. This means that if you would like a spot of booze in the evening, you will need to have some cash with you. Unfortunately the nice people at Voewood will not be able to take cards. The good news is that if you are caught short, there are lots of cash machines in the local town, Holt which is about 1.5 miles away. Between 20:00 and 02:00 we will have a minibus at the venue which will be able to shuttle people back to their hotels. This can also be commandeered for a cash machine run into Holt if needbe.
Voewood is a bit of a maze! Below is a map of the building with all important toilets highlighted in Green.

Hotels and Places to Stay
Hotels:
There are loads of hotels around Voewood and many are used to dealing with weddings at the house. The three nearest towns are:- Holt
- Sheringham
- Weyborne
The town of Cromer is a little further away but is a little bigger so will have lots of places to stay. We have created a list of hotels for the local area and you can download these below:
Self Catering and Cottages:
The north Norfolk Cost is a popular holiday destination and as such there is lots and lots of self catering holiday cottages of different shapes and sizes. Air B&B:
For the slightly more adventurous, there are some really good deals on Air B&B. Air B&B often means that you will be sharing with the owners of the house. However, it is often less expensive than a hotel or a normal B&B. A list of Air B&B places near Holt that are available during the wedding can be found below:Parking
Parking is very limited at Voewood! There are only 20 Parking Spaces at the house. The house itself is off a main road so I'm afraid there is nowhere to park on the road either. We would strongly recommend getting a taxi to the house if possible. Details of some local taxis are below.
Good news! We will also be having a minibus in the evening. Anyone staying within a few miles of house will be able to hop in and get deposited back at their hotel.
Taxis and Getting Around
We Have A Minibus!:
Good news! We will have a 16 seat minibus at the house between the hours of 8pm and 2am to take people back to their hotels and cottages. We only have the one so if it proves popular there might be a little bit of a wait for him but thats a great excuse to pop back inside, have one more drink and a last dance before heading off!
Taxis:
If you a saying a little further afield, you will probably need to book a taxi as our minibus friend will only going about 5 miles from Voewood. Taxi's in Norfolk are notoriously rare so we would recommend booking early! Below are some companies that will be able to help get you to and from your hotel:

Train:
It is possible to reach Vowood by train then a short taxi ride.
To Voewood from Norwich:
Trains go from Norwich to Sheringham every hour and the journey is about an hour. Once you get to Sheringham it is about a 15 minute (6 mile) taxi ride to the venue. At the time of writing (June), it looks like trains leave Norwich at every 45 minutes past the hour to get to Sheringham and the last train back from Sheringham to Norwich is 23:47
To Norwich From London:
To get to Norwich from London, it takes approx. 2 hours journey time from London Liverpool Street station. Trains are approx. every half hour. If you book more than a month in advance, tickets can be as low as £9 one way.
To Norwich from Stansted Airport:
To get to Norwich from Stansted airport, you will need to go to Cambridge first then change for a train to Norwich. This takes approx. 2 and a half hours and trains leave Stansted Airport approximately once an hour. If you book more than a month in advance, tickets are around £30 one way.
Planning a Trip on the Train:
If you are looking to plan your rail travel, the National Rail website is very good. It can be found here: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
Airports and Car Hire:
Stansted airport is probably the best airport to fly into. However, if you can find a plane that will go there, Norwich is only 35 minutes drive away! Details are below:
Norwich airport is the closest to Voewood. It’s a 35 minute drive to the location. At the airport, there is car hire for Avis, EuropeCar and Hertz (https://www.norwichairport.co.uk/at-the-airport/airport-car-hire/). Please note that there is no train station at this airport and if you want to travel to Voewood by train, you will need to get a 20 minute taxi from the airport into Norwich city to the station. However, not too many carriers fly to Norwich (but bizarrely, I think there are loads of flights to and from Norway?) so it may be better to go to Stansted if you are flying in.
Stansted Airport
is the closest large airport to Voewood. Its about a 2 hour drive to the location. This is probably the best airport if you are travelling from Ireland. With Ryan Air having lots of direct flights from Dublin to Stansted. There are loads of car rental places at Stansted and you can also get to the venue by train if you want (Although it will take about 4 hours!).
Walking:
Don't be silly.
This Dude
So the free website builder that came with our domain name is indescribably useless. I wrote this website on a lazy Sunday afternoon back in June. The day quickly turned from lazy to incredibly frustrating until I gave up and stormed off in a huff. The one thing that I could not work out was how to delete the stock image of a dude with a hipster beard that came with the website software. Alas, I could move Dave (I named him Dave. I spent so long shouting at him, I thought that he at least deserved a name) anywhere on the screen but I could not delete him. The knowledge to delete him has alluded me to this day. And so, ladies and Gentleman, I give you Dave:
