Frequently Asked Questions

31st December 2026.
Lounge suits and dresses. Weather permitting, we are hoping to host some of the drinks reception outside so it is worth bringing a coat.
We are having an adults-only celebration due to venue capacity restrictions. Thank you for understanding.
By car: Middleton Lodge is easily accessible from the A1(M). Ample free parking is available on-site.

By train: The nearest station is Darlington about 8 miles or 15–20 minutes away. Ubers and taxis are available from Darlington Station. However, due to the rural location the venue recommends pre-booking a taxi in advance for your return journey.
Middleton Lodge has beautiful rooms and cottages on-site — we strongly recommend booking early as they fill fast. There are also plenty of options in Richmond and the surrounding area. The Holiday Inn Darlington Scotch Corner and Travelodge Scotch Corner are both very reasonable and a 5 minute drive or 40 minute walk from the venue.
Take as many photos through the evening as you like but please leave the ceremony photos to the photographer.
Your presence is the greatest gift. However, if you would like to give a gift, a contribution to our honeymoon will help us create memories that will last a lifetime. A link to do this will be provided on this website closer to the time.
Please let us know any dietary requirements or allergies when you RSVP using the form below. We want everyone to be well-fed and happy!
If you are travelling up on the day, bags can be stored in the Gin Terrace during the day.

For guests staying at Middleton Lodge, there will be an opportunity for you to check in after dinner and before the first dance.

For guests staying elsewhere, we recommend you keep your bags in the Coach House Gin Terrace and take them with you when you leave.

we hope to see you there
