St Luke’s Chapel
Posbury

1pm start (please arrive in plenty of time)
There should be parking in a neighbouring field weather permitting, but if you can park at Great Leigh Farm and lift share to reduce cars all the better.
The chapel is about 2km from the farm along quiet (but hilly) roads if you are feeling energetic.
Following the Ceremony the reception will be held at,
Great Leigh Farm
Crediton

From 7pm for drinks and music
Great Leigh Farm
Crediton

Wear what you are comfortable in, but remember it's a farm (the ground is bumpy, can be soft, and mostly on a hill so heels, for example, aren't too practical!)
We will be having an epic South African Braai. There will be an amazing selection of delicious meats and fish, plus lots of salads.
There will also be food later for those joining us after dinner
Enjoy drinks from the bar, it's our round!
Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements, we will do our best to help.
There is plenty of space for campervans, caravans and tents on the farm. Loos will be available and the day after there will be a casual breakfast and you are welcome to stay all day.
Locally there are plenty of B&B options, please click the link below where we have some suggestions
There is plenty of parking at the farm. Taxis, if required, will be best booked in advance.
Parking will be in a field off the driveway. Large vehicles (ie horse lorries) will need to use an alternative entrance.
The vicar requests we don't take photos inside the chapel, but outside the chapel and at the reception please take as many photos as you like, we would love to see them too.
There will be a photographer doing all the important ones as well!
We would simply enjoy your company at our wedding, but if you would like to give a gift we would welcome surprises, though we also have a couple of lists below with a few ideas!
If you are staying in Devon on the Friday night before the wedding, please join us at the Beer Engine for an informal supper and drinks. Send Alex a message if you plan to join us.
