About the day...
Everything you need to know about GravidFest from the schedule of events to what to wear. Hopefully all your burning questions will be answered once you've perused this page but we do have some secrets up our sleeves...
Venue
Wickerwood Farm is an exciting outdoor venue that offers us the chance to host our very own festival style celebration deep in the East Sussex countryside. Expect fields lined with woodland and wild flower meadows, central tipi tents and roaring fire pit. Glamping tents and shepherd hut toilet facilities line the neighbouring field which leads from the onsite car park.​
Location
Wickerwood Farm is located near the East Sussex village of Horam, 15 miles north of Eastbourne and 18 miles south of Tunbridge Wells.
The nearest train station is Polegate Station, a 15 minute drive away with a direct line to London Victoria.
Located 24 miles from Brighton & 30 miles from Gatwick, Wickerwood has ample parking available onsite.

Welcome Reception
Please join us for a light bite and bubbles to kick start the celebrations
Ceremony
We invite everyone to join us in the ceremony area to reaffirm our marriage vows in a personal and informal way. By removing the legal requirements of a marriage, we have been able to create a special opportunity to reflect and celebrate the last 20 years together - and that includes all of you
Let the celebration begin!
Bubbles, games and music in and around the tipi tent
Dinner is served
Help yourself to the delicious feasting table at your leisure. This is relaxed informal dining all the way so no need to rush.
Get the party started
Time to show us what you're made of on the dance floor. Expect an array of music genres and styles to dance the night away or kick back around the fire pit and enjoy the music from afar
Feeling peckish?
Freshly prepared evening food available for when you've worked up an appetite on the dance floor
Carriages
Curfew
All non-glamping guests to be offsite (or we get in trouble!)
Dress code
Come to GravidFest expecting an informal summer festival vibe and dress code. We want our guests to feel comfortable throughout the day so please wear what you feel free, fantastic and fabulous in.
In short, you are invited to be you,
to be comfortable, or to upstage!
We can't wait to see you there!
We are hosting an outdoors event in June, and whilst we have provided shelter from the elements around the venue, please be prepared for the English summer! Please come with options and layers so you are comfy and warm throughout the day and night whatever the weather. Alternative footwear options may be required on the grass. Thanks Dame Shirley!
​
If you are Glamping with us, please ensure you have warm clothing to see you through the night, one should not rely on their alcohol jacket.​
Gifting
Quite honestly, having everyone join us to celebrate at GravidFest is the biggest gift we can ask for. With a relationship that is 20 years in the making, we have built our home, our comforts and we have all the material commodities we could ever need.
​
Life for us is about experiences and memories, and thats what GravidFest is all about. IF (and that’s a big if) anyone has the desire to gift us something, a contribution to our travel fund would be very much appreciated, to enable us to plan a trip-of-a-lifetime later on this year.
