Comfortable with an exotic twist! Formal attire not necessary but whatever you feel comfortable in. Dress for a garden party. Please have a wet weather contingency (waterproofs and wellies/shoes) particularly for kids as we hope to be outside during most of the day. Bring shoes you can dance and walk in uneven ground as the ceremony will hopefully take place outside down a large garden.
Kids are welcome there is a huge garden to explore. Please keep an eye on them during the day as the garden is huge and there is a lake off to one side also there are some exotic species growing which we need to be careful of and the head gardener is quite scary!
Your sunnies, fingers crossed!! However, also consider bringing some warmer cloths as although it summer then it is still England! A picnic blanket and your favourite deckchair for a picnic style lunch. Don’t worry about this if you are traveling from further afield or on the train etc though! Does anyone have a spare gazebo they could bring?
The usual airbnb, Booking etc also a company called Classic Holidays has other alternatives.
We are based in Flushing on Trewgew Road, off Tregew Close. The village which has several pubs and if your around its a nice village next to the sea but accommodation options are limited. Plenty of places in Penryn and Falmouth.
Limited bivouac option at the venue. You can pitch a tent on a nice flat grassy area with an outside loo available nearby. £25 per tent per night Fri and Sat possible but please let us know in advance if you want to do that so we can book you in with the venue.

Beach day!! Please join us from 10.30am for a day of salty celebrations. This is likely to be on Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth which is accessible and has a car park nearby, a cafe, restaurant and St Michaels resort if anyone wants anything more upmarket. We will be on the left hand side near the large wall. Please bring a picnic, water. Mini Olympics will kick off about 11.30! Bring swimming stuff, wetsuits, paddleboards, beach games etc.
We are excited that you are able to make it, please don’t worry about gifts.
We are around for the whole of the week and would be great to see you more if possible for more beach time, coastal walks and drinks. Many of the cottages are done on a weekly bases so there should be plenty of accommodation available. The Falmouth Sea shanty festival is taking place the following weekend 14th-16th June in Falmouth, which should be a lot of fun.
