Tying the knot
Our ceremony will take place at 11am, so we kindly ask that you ensure you’re at Normanton Church for 10:30am.
There is a wedding guest car park at Normanton Church for you to use. To get there, follow directions to Rutland Water Normanton Car Park LE15 8HD. Once there, take a parking ticket & follow signs for Normanton Church, leading you to the private car park.
FYI, there will be a 5-minute walk between the car park & church, so bring brollies, if needed, and allow time for the walk!
After the formal bits…
After the ceremony, please head over to
