Local Accommodation
As you all know we have secured the camping field at Kirklinton, but if this isn't your thing I have asked Kirklinton Hall for a list of local accommodation. There is nothing within walking distance of Kirklinton Hall but Taxi's can be easily pre booked to any of these hotels. If you find somewhere please share in the comments or if you want to do a taxi share. There will be people traveling from Brampton and Carlisle.

About Kirklinton Hall and how to dress

Sounds glamours doesn't it? The grand Kirklinton Hall, well back in its day it was even the Krays and Barbra Windsor came to hang out here when it was a casino and London got a bit too much for them. To be honest if its good enough for Babs its good enough for us. However, it had been left to almost ruin but a lot of money has gone back into it and steps have been taken to make it grand again. If you do get the time look up the history of the place, its got a great story to tell and we are pleased to be part of that story now. 

One thing is that if we don't get the weather it can get cold so please bring warm clothes for the night time. There will be heaters in the main hall and a couple on the terrace, we will also have a fire pit room ( no roof or windows though) and finally the old carriage room with sofas and a log burner for anyone who is really going to feel the cold.  

How to dress? 

Think summer garden party but if its raining bring an umbrella and your wellies. Obviously its a wedding so its a smart affair but we want you to be comfortable and warm too. Check out the weather and decide about footwear and warmth. Fingers crossed for sunshine

 Wedding set up

Friday night

Friday night is all about helping us set up the hall.... bunting hanging, garden games building, sweeping up and everything in between. We would welcome any help so please come down, the camping is open on the Friday so stay over or head home after.
The bar isn't open on Friday but bring a couple of cheeky drinks and we will set up the music first. Dancing, getting creative and having fun.

Kids

We want them there! A wedding just wouldn't be the same without them. Kids love camping, dancing and cake.... but we have more than that! There will be lots of garden games, a sand pit, play park, fairy walks through the woods and even a bouncy castle. When things get too much for them we have our chill out room with sofas and log burner to keep them warm ( not to play with).
We don't have any highchairs so please bring one if needed or give me a phone. 

Camping

We have hired the camping field at Kirklinton Hall from Friday  at 3pm till Sunday at midday. We will be about all day on the Friday setting up, so if anyone is free please come and help.
There is plenty of room so campervans, caravans, tents or whatever you choose to sleep in are welcome. There isn't any hook ups in the field,  just a water point. There is 2 clean, hot and powerful showers. Also toilets in the warm clean shower block. We have secured a room to get ready in with electric points for hair drying/ straightening, phone charging and so on.
Now if you live local you are welcome to just pitch on the Saturday  ( saves taxi fares) .
We understand not everyone enjoys camping as much as us so we will not be offended if you choose not to camp, but we would love it if you could join us for this weekend of camping, chilling and dancing.
I will be there till midnight on Friday then I have to stay at home ( can't see the bride before the wedding) but Andy will be camping all weekend.
