The ceremony will be inside but if the weather is good, the party will be outside.

It will get chilly after sunset so please bring a coat. It may also be wise to leave your stilettos at home (or bring flats).

If you would like to coordinate with the colour scheme, here it is:

The Plough at Fen Ditton is 15 minutes from the centre of town. A taxi should cost approximately £10-15.

We have booked Panther Taxis to transport our guests from the ceremony to the party. Use these links to book a taxi at the end of the night.

Uber is available in Cambridge, though it is unlikely you will be able to get a ride from Fen Ditton late at night.

We recommend booking a taxi in advance!

What is the weather going to be like?

Looking at past weather data from the Cambridge Airport, it is likely to be 15-20° when you arrive at the pub, with the temperature falling to 11-16° after the sun goes down.

What if it rains?

The wedding breakfast will be in a marquee, so rain won't be a problem. If it looks as though it will be chilly, bring a coat and we will provide blankets, fire pits, and hot drinks.

If it's too wet to have a garden party, we can move inside. In either case the ceremony will be at the Cambridge Union at 13:00.

Will there be somewhere to leave my coat?

Yes, there will be a coat rack and hangers.

Can I get you a wedding present?

Your presence on the day is all that we ask for. If you wish, we are looking forward to our honeymoon and any contribution would be very much appreciated.

What time is the last train?

There are six trains an hour to London. The last train to London leaves from Cambridge at 23:54. Fast trains take 50 minutes. Stopping trains take an hour and a half.
