There is plenty of parking outside on the gravelways in front of the house, and for another 4 to 6 cars in the turnaround as well. The gates will be open when we arrive but we can shut them afterwards.
Caldicot is the nearest station (about a 20min walk) and we can pick you up from there if train travel is your preference!

What are we doing?
There is nothing too strenuous or anything that you would need to sign a waiver for planned for this weekend, but there will be lots going on! Plenty of eating, sleepover vibes, general feel-good scenarios, lots of appreciation for the bride, games and crafty times. We hope that you’ll be left feeling full of joy, surrounded by love and inspired. ✨ 🧡
We have sorted food for everyone, and on Saturday lunchtime we will be eating out - it’ll need to be pre-ordered and we'll send a menu around soon for you to pick from. This is included in the total price you’re paying so you don’t need to worry about an additional cost, but we do ask that any drinks will be purchased yourselves at the bar.

What to bring
- 2m ribbon/cord of your choosing, 2m in length and up 5cm wide. We will be using this to make something for the bride, so if there is a little extra special trinket/personal item you want to include then bring that along, but it will need to be small and easy to attach to ribbon.
- If you have them, crystals that can be put into table decor or something that makes you think of Jenn (you will take these back home with you, don’t worry!).
- Shoes that can get muddy - think gentle stroll, not mountain climbing! And probably a waterproof.
- A glorious witchy outfit/that outfit that has been in the back of your wardrobe that you really want to wear, and don’t mind potentially getting muddy!
- A candle - doesn't have to be anything new/unused or snazzy.
- We will bring bubbles & non-alcoholic bubbles for everyone to have a glass. There will also be tea, coffee, squash and pop for everyone, but bring anything else you'll want to drink! There are supermarkets nearby that can always be popped to!
- There is a hot tub, so bring some swimmers and flip-flops (or don’t - you be you).
- Something to sleep in in case your roomate(s) aren't keen on nakedness.
Think celtic or pagan witch inspired ... floaty material, moons, crystals, whatever you fancy really 🖤
FAQs
Some things you might wanna know...
What are the sleeping arrangements?
It will be shared rooms, and a mix of shared beds and singles, and some floor mattresses too (sleepover style!) the rooms are massive! We appreciate not everyone has oodles of cash, Jenn has so many friends, and we wanted to make sure as many of her faves could afford to come as possible. We'll sort out who is sleeping where, but if anyone is opposed to sharing a bed or has dibs on who they want to share with, just drop one of us a message and we will accommodate as much as we can - no judgements here - and we promise we'll do what we can (without remodelling the house).
Can you remind me of costs?
The cost per hen is [redacted] - this includes covering Jenn.
This pays for:
- 2 night stay
- a (simple) breakfast both days
- dinner both nights
- pub lunch on Saturday
- a welcome glass of bubbly (boozy or alcohol-free)
- planned activities
Please bring anything else you want to drink at the house, and get your own drinks from the bar at the pub.
If we end up coming in under what you paid, the extra monies will ofc be refunded to you.
We have to pay the final balance for the house on 26th February, so if your finances allow please try and settle up by then.
I can't come anymore, can I have my money back?
That really sucks, but unfortunately if you confirm that you are coming and then cancel we won’t be able to refund you. By saying you will be there will affect how much we spend and what we do. Obviously we completely appreciate that things happen and changes might occur, but it will impact everyone else who attends. We really hope that you understand!
What if I forget to bring something?
Not a problem! There's shops and supermarkets nearby.
