FAQs

everything you need to know...

How do I get there?

Venue Address: Maidens Barn, Green Street, High Easter, Chelmsford, Essex, CM3 1HU

The venue is quite out in the sticks, between Chelmsford, Bishops Stortford and Braintree.

Due to the location, on-the-day taxis are not easy to book. It is recommended to pre-book a cab.

There is an on-site car park, where cars can be left at the owner's risk overnight and collected by 12 noon the next day.

Where can I stay?

There are a limited number of rooms on-site at the venue available for hire for the night, suitable for 2 people per room. Please get in touch with Trev or Jo to see if any are left if you are interested in these.

Otherwise, local hotels and B&Bs can be found here.

Can I bring my kids?

If you have received a save the date / invitation, your children are welcome - please just let us know who to expect so that we can plan accordingly.

Can I bring a plus one?

Plus ones have been included on the save the dates / invitations where applicable, however if there is someone you would like to bring and you don't have a plus one, please speak to us in advance and we'll see what we can do.
