Wedding Gifts

We are both of the opinion that your time is the most precious gift you can give us. As a result please do not feel obliged to bring a gift. If you feel that you would like to we have put together a wedding registry of items that would help us starting out in married life.

If you bring us an orange cat to add to our growing pride of sofa lions you will, of course, have secured a special place in heaven!

Parking

Whilst we strongly advise arranging taxis to and from the wedding, there is ample parking available near to the Cathedral in The Prince Bishops multi storey car park. Parking on Palace Green is restricted to disabled persons only.

For the wedding reception, Flass Street outside of Redhills has on-street parking payable via telephone or mobile app. We have arranged for a mini bus to transport anyone who wishes to use the service from the Cathedral to Redhills.

If you do require disabled access and parking please let us know on your RSVP and we will put arrangements in place that best assist you.

Wedding Locations

We have arranged for a minibus to transport those who require it from Durham Cathedral to Redhills Miners Hall. It is a relatively swift walk mostly downhill, however, in the summer heat we would recommend making use of the minibus. It will collect people from Palace Green.
