We can't wait to celebrate our special day with all our closest friends and family. Getting married with all our favourite people around us means the world and we really hope you can make it. 

We've pulled together some useful information including where to stay and what's going to happen on the day. 

Hope to see you soon,

Sophie & Ben x

The party will end around 1am, so we suggest arranging taxis for 1:15am. You can find local taxi / mini bus recommendations on the Transport page. There will also be the coach going back to Harrogate for those that arrived on it. 

Will I need cash or card?

You won't need either during the day but we'd recommend bringing cash for your taxis home.

PARKING INFO

For those driving, there is road side parking along the lanes by All Saints Church (HG3 1HD).

The reception will be at Sophie’s parents’ home in Kearby (The Old Smithy Cottage, LS22 4BR) and there is plenty of space for everyone to park. Just follow the signs when you get there and you're welcome to leave your cars overnight. 

LOCAL TAXIS
