are having a big summer wedding party
When you arrive at Middleton Castle, you'll be greeted by the castle gates right at the junction of Station Road and Tower Lane. Follow the driveway down, and you'll find the main castle entrance straight ahead!
Using "Middleton Castle" or the postcode PE32 1EE should bring you right to the castle gates. There's plenty of grassy parking available on site, and we'll have someone there to direct you where to park on the day.
For those traveling from London, the best way to get to Middleton Castle is to take a direct train from Kings Cross to Kings Lynn, which takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes. From Kings Lynn, you can take a taxi or bus to the castle.
King's Lynn Cabs - 07367 670000
Connect Cars & Taxis - 01553 776633
Kings Lynn Taxis - 01553 763636
The A, B or C 'excel' buses depart from Kings Lynn railway station roughly every 30 minutes and will take you three stops in about 10 minutes to the Church bus stop. From there, it's just over a mile walk to the castle.

We want everyone to feel relaxed and comfortable. Both of us will be in casual suits, but we'd like you to think British summer garden party, and hopefully this will usher in some sunshine over the weekend. Come how you feel comfortable. If you're unsure, message us!
N.B. The wedding is planned to be primarily outdoors, we are hoping for lovely weather, but please be prepared and bring some comfrotable shoes to change into and some warmer clothes in case you get cold.

We are overjoyed to be celebrating our wedding with you on 31st August. This celebration is not just about us, it's a chance for all of us to reconnect, reminisce, and make new memories together after such a long time.
As you know, we have been together for nearly seven years, and we've built a life filled with love and the things we need. With this in mind, we're not asking for traditional wedding gifts.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to host this special event and to share it with all of you. But as we planned our wedding, we couldn't help but think about those who aren't as fortunate. In particular, the issues of homelessness and food poverty are causes that are very close to our hearts.
Instead of gifts, we ask that you consider what you might have spent over the course of our wedding celebration—whether on food, drinks, or a wedding present—and instead contribute that amount to our GoFundMe. These funds will be used so we can donate to local and national charities dedicated to addressing homelessness and food poverty, including food banks and outreach programs in Bristol, as well as national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness support organisations.
Scoll down to find out more about the charities we are fundraising for!
We've done everything we can to make this weekend special for you, with great food, plenty of drinks, and wonderful company. Now, we invite you to join us in making a difference for others.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us give back to our communities.
