Accommodation
We'll be honest, the venue is in the middle of Sherwood Forest and in the countryside so hotels and taxi bookings are a must, BUT we are here to help make this as easy as possible.
There are several options available.
** Nottingham City Centre **
Roomzzzz aparthotels
£147 per room per night (double and family rooms available).
Can be booked on the link below.
Park Plaza:
£160 per room per night (double occupancy)
This will need to be arranged directly with Michael and me.
Hilton Hotel
£170 per night for double occupancy.
We will provide a room code for you.
There are other hotels in the city centre, and I would recommend using booking.com for the best prices. Feel free to send us the hotel you find to see if it's in the right area and for any general thoughts as a local.
Anyone staying in Nottingham city centre will be able to catch a shuttle service to and from the venue on the day of the wedding - details to be confirmed once we know final numbers and we will update the website as we get closer to the date.
For those who will be wanting to stay near the venue, you should search for 'Budby' in your search engine, and we can provide details for taxis.

After bonding over Charlie Chalk in a pub beer garden over 17 years ago, Lianne has been by her side in work, life, moving to all the places and will be joining as a bridesmaid.
