What’s the weather like in late August?
Late August in England is usually mild and pleasantly warm, often ranging from the high 60s to mid 70s°F (around 18–24°C). That said, British weather is famously changeable—you may get sunshine, clouds, or a light sprinkle all in one day.
Evenings can cool down, so we recommend bringing a light layer, and a small umbrella never hurts (just in case)!
Will food and drinks be provided?
Yes! Cocktail hour, dinner, drinks, and dessert will all be served. Please note any dietary requirements on your RSVP so we can accommodate you.
Will there be vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options?
Absolutely. Just mention any dietary needs when you RSVP and the catering team will take great care of you.
Is the venue accessible?
The castle is a historic site with some uneven ground and stairs. If you need accommodations, please let us know—we’re happy to help plan the easiest routes.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We’re having an unplugged ceremony. Please keep phones and cameras away until after the vows.
What is the best airport to fly into?
Heathrow (LHR) is the closest and most convenient. Gatwick (LGW) is another good option. See our Travel section for trains, taxis, and transfer tips.
How long is the drive from Heathrow or Gatwick?
Heathrow to Farnham is typically 45–60 minutes by car.
Gatwick to Farnham is usually 50–70 minutes by car.
Travel times can vary depending on traffic, especially on weekends.

Should I rent a car?
You don’t need one unless you’re planning to explore the countryside. Farnham is walkable, and local taxis are reliable when pre-booked. Driving is on the left side of the road in the UK, and many roads are narrow.
Are there stairs?
Yes. The castle has multiple levels and historic stone staircases. There is no lift access to key areas so please let us know if you need assistance.
