Key Info

  • When arriving at Sandon Manor, please ensure you do not drive up to the Manor House, but bear right after the entrance to Guest Parking.

  • Ample free parking is available at the venue.

  • You may leave your car in the car park overnight, but it must be collected the next day by 4pm.

  • In case of a fire at the venue, when the alarm sounds, leave from the nearest exit and make your way to the muster point located by the paddock at the entrance.

  • There’s no strict dress code, but we both believe the more colour, the better! Our lovely bridesmaids will be in various shades of terracotta, so please avoid wearing that if possible.

  • Despite her deep-rooted love of being a Tear, Emily will be taking Tim’s surname. So you will be meeting the new Mr & Mrs Silversides!
