The bare necessities...

All the details about our wedding :D 

When?      

Saturday 14th April 2012.

Guests to arrive at 1.00 - 1.15 pm for the civil ceremony at 2 pm. 

Where?    

Preston Court, Preston, Canterbury CT3 1DH, Kent, United Kingdom. 

A fabulous 17th century Kentish barn / manor house set in a private estate. 

We hope to have an outdoor ceremony on Juliana's Island with our loved ones looking on. Join us in praying vvvvv hard for great April weather! 

Well that's great but how do I get there? 

By car 

We presume most of our UK friends will be travelling down by car. 

If so, postcode for your GPS will be: CT3 1DH. 

Enter the postcode in Google Maps 

The easiest route to Preston by road from the west is: Follow the A2/M2 from London towards Dover, and take the 3rd exit after Canterbury (Barham interchange) for the B2046 towards Wingham. After 4 miles you will reach Wingham, and we are the next village just beyond (signposted for Preston). At the entrance sign for Preston village turn left into Court Lane. Head for the church at the bottom of the lane, where you will find the house and farm. There is ample free parking at the venue. 

By train / rail 

The nearest rail station is Canterbury East or Canterbury West. A taxi from the rail station is about £15, and takes 15-20 minutes. If you are taking the train from central London, it takes about 1 and a half hours. 

The best sites to browse for train schedules etc are The Train Line and National Rail. If you book in advance or buy to singles,  The Train Line can be quite cheap.

What to bring on the day 

Dress for the April weather - April is usually sunny but may still be chilly outside and with the British weather, you never know! 

For weather updates closer to the time, the The Met Office or BBC Weather are  usually reliable. 

Also bring cash for the bar and taxis if needed.     

We will update the blog about accommodation in our next post!
