Reception Location
Ellesmere Centre, Stetchworth, Cambridgeshire, CB8 9TN
Children welcome
Music till midnight
Please take a lateral flow test on Saturday morning. They only cost £2. Lisa will be/about to be immuno-compromised, plus would have to cancel her hospital appointments if she got covid.
Transport
There is parking at the Ellesmere Centre for c. 60 cars. It is c. 10 minute walk to the church. There is also parking for some cars just outside the church in Church Lane. We are planning to walk along High St from the service to the reception, please join us.
The trains are rail replacement bus services from Cambridge to Dullingham (nearest station). We cannot vouch for their reliability. The station is a c. 35 minute walk from the reception, pavement all the way.
If you are driving on the A14, get off on to the A1303 just outside of Cambridge. Otherwise you will end up in Newmarket which can get busy on a Saturday.
The new A14 layout is missing from a lot of Sat Navs, so check the route in advance.
Taxis
Phone signal is bad in Stetchworth. There is a land line for emergencies. But we strongly advise you to book a taxi in advance.
Accommodation
There are several B & Bs in the nearby villages - Dullingham, Cheveley, Ashley etc. Newmarket has a fair bit of accommodation and is a shorter taxi home than Cambridge, which has a lot of hotels.
Places to eat
We can recommend Rose and Mango, Newmarket.
Unico (italian) in Newmarket is open for breakfast/brunch from 8:30 to 15:00 on Saturday and Sunday. And lunch/dinner Pretty large but gets busy.
Victor Victoria in Newmarket - nice coffee and sourdough products.
The Three Blackbirds in Woodditton is very nice for dinner.
Presents
Your presence at short notice is enough, but if you're really going to push us here are some ideas.
