About the venues
Holy Trinity Church
Holy Trinity Church, Minchinhampton, Stroud GL6 9BW
Nestled in the same valley we live in, the church we are getting married in has been important part of Lydias family for generations. It's also the final resting place of her beloved grandmother, so it means a lot to both of us to be able to get married there.
The service will be a traditional Church of England ceremony, lead by Rev'd Natalie Jennings.
Parking: There is plenty of street parking available around the church, but please be mindful of residents.
The Old Lodge
The Old Lodge, Minchinhampton Common, Stroud GL6 9AQ
Originally built as a hunting lodge in the 19th century, it's now an inn set the heart of Minchinhampton Common in the Cotswolds.
The area around the lodge is National Trust land, meaning we will be surrounded by beautiful countryside and roaming cattle. It is also unfortunately in the middle of a golf course, but you can't have everything!
We will be hosting the reception here, and we can't wait to celebrate with everyone in such a beautiful setting.
Parking: There is plenty of parking around the lodge and on the path leading up to it. Don't worry about the golfers, but do be mindful of the cows!
