In the Cotswolds. We are getting married at St Leonard’s Church in Bledington (OX7 6XD) and the reception is at Oxleaze Barn (GL7 3RB) near Lechlade.

If you are coming by train, the nearest station is Kingham and there are regular trains from London Paddington. The journey time is just under 90 minutes. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Kingham Station to the church. The 802 bus takes only 3 minutes to Bledington but they aren’t very frequent and you would need to check on the timetable with Pulham’s Coaches which operates the route.

The wedding at the church is at 2pm. Please arrive in good time to park and get seated. It’s a small church and there are a lot of you to fit in! We can’t guarantee there won’t be some restricted view seats!

There’s a pub in Bledington if you want to grab something to eat beforehand, but you’ll need to book.

Following the church ceremony we will all make our way to Oxleaze Barn.

It’s a 25-minute drive between the church and the Barn. The route goes through Burford which can sometimes be a bit slow on a Saturday if traffic is busy. You can find directions by clicking HERE.

When you arrive at the reception you will be greeted with music, food & drink.

If you aren’t coming under your own steam and will have any difficulty with transport, please let us know.

We are hoping that most people will be able to sort this out between themselves, but if you’re stuck, we may be able to find you a lift or consider other arrangements, so please let us know

You can leave your car at Oxleaze Barn overnight (as long as it’s collected by 10am the following morning). If you’re looking to do this or don’t have a car, we recommend booking your taxi in advance.

At the church – there will be parking in a field adjacent to the church. Please drive to the church and you will be directed from there. The field is kindly being made available to us by the owners and it is normally used as grazing for animals. Please be sure to take any rubbish away with you.

At Oxleaze Barn – there is plenty of parking available, but please be sure to follow any signs or directions as it is also a working farm and family home.

You are able to leave your car at Oxleaze Barn overnight but all cars must be collected by 10am on Sunday 18th September.

The reception will wind up between 11:30pm and 12am. We recommend you book a taxi in advance if you plan on leaving your car at the venue.

We are getting married in a very beautiful part of the world and you may want to stick around for some or all of the weekend.

We’re sure you’re able to research and find places to stay that will suit what you need. However we have puled together a list of some ideas.

Due to space limitations, we are unable to extend our invitation to children other than those that have roles in the wedding ceremony.

We hope you understand and that you will be able to join us on our special day.

Please know that your presence is the best gift you could give us but, should you feel inclined, we have a gift list registered at The Wedding Shop.

There certainly will!

Once we get to Oxleaze Barn there will be a drinks and canapés reception followed by a full meal. Later in the evening, there will be some more food to top you up. We are planning to be as generous with drinks as we are with food, but you may need your card if you fancy something different from the bar.

We will be inside at both the church and the reception.

At Oxleaze Barn there are also some nice outdoor areas. If the weather isn’t in our favour, we’ll certainly be dry and warm. Please watch the forecast and arm yourself with an umbrella if you think you will need it.

Of course! The brilliant Fitzroy Six will be keeping us on our toes all evening.

Due to space limitations, we are unable to extend our invitation to plus ones who are not named on the invitation

The groom's party will be wearing morning suits. If you've got your own morning suit lurking in a wardrobe and want an excuse to wear it, please feel free to join in, but it's definitely not a requirement, so please just wear whatever you will feel most comfortable in for the occasion
