Travel by Car
There are two routes into the venue, one is a very narrow and uneven track which is best avoided (James found this out the hard way in his new car!!).
It's best to approach the venue from Trotton. If you are coming via the A3 this should take you down the A272. You will eventually get to a set of traffic lights which controls traffic over a humped bridge. The lane for the venue is on the right just after the bridge.
Parking
Southdowns Manor has plenty of space for cars at the front of the Manor.
Any cars left at the venue overnight on the 23rd September must be collected no later that 10am on Friday 24th September.

Hotel Details
Our venue is slightly off the beaten track however Old Thorns is only a short drive away. The hotel provides guests with a range of accommodation (rooms to self-catered apartment to glamping pods) as well as a good range of facilities.
We have 20 rooms put by for us on 23/09/21. They can be booked via the Reservations Team on 01428 738400. You will need to quote Lauren Cole Group Booking and the arrival date for us to be able to locate your rooms.
As we know this hotel well, we are hoping to run a minibus, coach or coaches to collect guests on the day of the wedding. This will depart Old Thorns at 12:45 and the return journey will depart the venue at 23:30. Please RSVP to the coach should you book in at Old Thorns as this allows us to gauge the numbers required.

As we are so lucky to have a home together, we have decided not to request wedding gifts.
However, if you would like to mark the occasion of our marriage with a gift, then we would be more than grateful to receive a small contribution towards our honeymoon.
More than anything, we hope that you can make it on the day, so please don't feel obliged in any way xx
