Saturday August 30th 2025

Please RSVP by 30th April 2025 at the latest

You are invited to our wedding! We have hired out Wilde Lodge from Friday 29th August to Monday 1st September 2025, with events organised on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We’d love you to join us for everything, or as much as you can. It should be a fun, chilled out weekend, with food, drink, and games. Wilde Lodge is set in gorgeous countryside, with walks, wild swimming and running tracks.

As there are so many of you who we don’t get to see very often, we would love it if you could stay with us onsite for the weekend in the glamping village so that we can enjoy the beautiful countryside and all the festivities together.

A bell tent village is going to be set up for those of you who would like to join us, and you can book using the link below. The prices are for 3 nights (i.e. Friday 29th August – Monday 1st September) and will be set up for your arrival.

Booking details for bell tents, and suggestions for local accommodation, are below.

We look forward to celebrating with you all!

We are not looking for any wedding gifts. Having you all there is present enough :)

Love Jen and Rory

Children

Due to the nature of the venue, unfortunately we won’t be able to accommodate children outside of the wedding party. We hope you understand and look forward to celebrating with you!

Dress Code

Semi-Formal - Suited and booted. The ground outside the lodge and surrounding the safari tent is gravelled so it can be a bit uneven. Make sure you bring some warm clothes and an umbrella just in case. Particularly if you are camping onsite, please bring extra layers. There will be fire pits set up in the evening and the Safari Tent will be well heated.

Sunday 31st August

A simple breakfast will be provided for guests staying on-site.

All guests, on-site and off-site, are welcome to stay with us on Sunday to soak up the Welsh countryside and relax after the party the day before. Please spend the day doing whatever you’d like. You can sleep off hangovers, there are lovely walking or running trails nearby or alternatively just soak up the morning after with a drink in hand, that works too! Those feeling brave enough and/or need a hangover cure, you can go wild swimming in the river so bring your bathers and a towel.

Sunday will be a BYOB day (there a CO-OP 7 minutes drive away). We will provide tea, coffee etc.

3pm BBQ: We will be hosting a BBQ for everyone. Please RSVP so that we can plan how much to make (See RSVP section). If there is anything specific you would like to eat, you are welcome to bring it with you.
