Adam and Ruth's Wedding!

The venue

The address of the venue is The Out Barn, Clough Bottom, Bashall Eaves, Near Clitheroe, Lancashire.

The website for the venue is cloughbottom.co.uk/

Please arrive at 1:30pm for the ceremony at 2pm. The wedding breakfast will be at 4:30pm and the night will finish at midnight.

You can leave your car at the venue and collect it the next morning by 11am. There is ample parking but please car share where possible to cut down on the number of cars using the farm tracks.

There's a minimum card payment at the bar of £10.

Getting there

Please don't rely entirely on your satnav, however the best postcode is BB7 3NA.

From the centre of Waddington, follow the main road to the left of The Higher Buck pub. Stay on this road signposted to Newton, Trough of Bowland, and continue up the hill for 0.5 miles. Just after the Forest of Bowland sign turn left onto Cross Lane. Continue along Cross Lane for approximately 1.3 miles, past some buildings on your left. After Peter Barn, bear right around the sharp 90 degree corner continuing until you reach the gate signposted The Out Barn. Drive down the track and at the bottom you will reach the car park.
If you approach from the other direction (past the Red Pump Inn) you will descend a steep track to a group of buildings, turn right between the buildings and continue between the farm buildings until the road bears to the left and you will see the barn. Drive past the barn to the car park behind the hedge. There is disabled parking next to the barn.

Please note that getting to the venue involves driving down farm tracks so it's probably best to leave sports cars and roller blades at home!

Children

We would love all our guests to be able to relax & celebrate with us, so our wedding is an adults-only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our day & will enjoy having the evening off.

Accomodation and taxis

We have reserved a small number of rooms in local hotels - they're available on a first come first served basis so let us know asap if you would like one, please note these are currently for both Friday and Saturday night.
