Where to stay
For those staying locally, we are hoping to arrange a meetup on the Sunday following the wedding day. We’d love to see you there!
Camping
Lower Damgate Farm, Dovedale, Ashbourne DE6 2AD
Stay on site at the venue! The price is £25 per night, which includes 2 people, a tent or camper van. All proceeds go the Dovedale Animal Sanctuary. Campers need to fill in a booking form which we can send you upon request – email Suzie at suzie.capps@hotmail.co.uk. By staying on site you’ll be able to join us to party way into the night after the non-resident’s have departed, and for a delicious breakfast! You’re very welcome to stay Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday night.
