The wedding venue

The Old Cow Shed

We've chosen this very quirky and rural location for our wedding.

C/O Poplars Farm, Great Dalby Road, Kirby Bellars, Leicestershire, LE14 2TN.

Parking at the venue is limited. For that reason we will be booking coach transport for any guests staying in Melton Mowbray, and we encourage car sharing where possible, however you are welcome to park at the venue if these arrangements do not suit your needs. Please read further down to find out more...

A little more...

Theme

We are bringing a festival vibe to our marriage union. There won't be a huge amount of tradition at our wedding, so bring your best party frock and dancing shoes, plus sequins if you have them, and be prepared to dance the night away.

Festival headgear and accessories will be most welcome!

Transport

We are organising a coach to pick-up and drop-off guests who will be staying in Melton Mowbray. Pick-up will be for evening guests only at 6:45pm, from Premier Inn and may include another hotel depending on how many guests book at each hotel. The return journey will be via Melton Mowbray and Long Clawson, for all guests, with collection at midnight from The Old Cow Shed.

Breakfast the next day

We'd love for you to join us for breakfast the next day at the Kitchen & Coffee, 10 Sherrard St, Melton Mowbray LE13 1XJ. We'll be there from 11am. It'll be a great way to share stories from the night before!

Wedding Gifts

Celebrating our marriage with us is a gift in itself, but if you would like to get us a little something, a contribution to our honeymoon would be much appreciated. We hope to make it to Thailand, fingers crossed....

Love Locks

As we are not sticking with tradition, we will not be having a guest book. Instead we invite you to bring a padlock along, with a little message to us from you, written or engraved, which we can enjoy as a keepsake of our day with our loved ones. This is by no means compulsory, so please don't feel you have to buy one.
