Stay In Winchester!

We strongly recommend everyone stays in Winchester during the wedding period, its our beautiful home city with lots to do and amazing transport links to London and the rest of the UK. We will be doing things in the days leading up with our early arrival guests based in Winchester too.

Don't worry! We will be organising transport from Winchester both to Burley Manor on the day of the Wedding as well as back to Winchester in the evening after you've all had a few drinks. No need to get lost in the wood!
  
(If you have received a key, don't worry about the night of the wedding)

A Note from Luke

For you, our overseas guests. I will be doing my best to greet and chauffeur as many of you as possible from the airport to your hotels. Its the least we can do after your 5000+ km trip! However I acknowledge that on the day or so before the Wedding things might be getting busy. Let me know what day, time and airport you will be arriving from!

When you get To Winchester 

Staying at the Winchester Hotel and Spa: This is just outside the town centre, not the easiest walk from the train station if you have large bags, but simple if driving.  See their 'find us' page here.
 

Staying at the Winchester Royal Hotel: Right in the heart of Winchester, this is a 5-10min walk from the trainstation, all downhill. Cab drivers should be ok, but may struggle with the one way system if they haven't been to Winchester before. See their 'find us' page here.
