If you’re reading this, hopefully you’ve been invited to Alex and Paul’s civil partnership and celebrations on October 9th, 2010. The ceremony is 12.30pm for 1pm and the evening bash begins at 7.30pm

The venue

The ceremony, the reception and the evening do are all at Woodborough Hall, in the village of Woodborough to the west of Nottingham. It is easily accessible by car from Mapperley Top in the city or from the A46 if travelling from the south.

There is no accommodation, but there should be ample parking for guests. Please car-share where possible and consider using the bus we are providing from Nottingham railway station and the Jurys Inn Hotel.

Venue website: woodboroughhall.co.uk

Accommodation

We have negotiated a group rate with the Jurys Inn Hotel, next to Nottingham Railway Station. Rooms are £55, £61 with breakfast, £68 for two sharing.

To book, please phone 0115 901 6700 – choose 1 for individual booking and quote “Allocation booking code FOST091010.” Please book before 9 September to be sure of getting the advance rate. More details http://nottinghamhotels.jurysinns.com/.

A list of small country B&Bs is below if you would prefer.

Bus transport to venue

We have booked a classic London red bus to leave the Jurys Inn Hotel at 12.00noon and 6pm to take guests to Woodborough Hall, and to return at 10pm, 10.45pm and 11.30pm.

It should be possible to connect with late trains leaving Nottingham if you would rather not stay overnight. The hotel is also within 10 minutes walk of Nottingham’s nightlife, and 5 minutes walk of Nottingham’s Tram, if you prefer to use Tram park and ride signposted from J26 of the M1

Children

Are welcome. Due to a shortage of space in the actual ceremony room, we might have to ask the children who are still small enough to sit on laps or otherwise share a seat with their parents.
