Shawn and Kate embracing in front of two elephants at a sanctuary in Koh Samui.

Our Story

Where it began

We met again at the George and Dragon in Batheaston on New Year’s. One dance, and a few months later we were together.

On 2 August 2026 Shawn proposed at an elephant sanctuary in Koh Samui, with a rather memorable audience.

Batheaston is where it started, so it felt right to celebrate just up the road.

The Day

Ceremony & Reception

Two venues: we’ll marry in the centre of Bath, then head just outside the city for the reception.

When

Mid February 2027

Exact date and times to be confirmed.

Ceremony

The Register Office
The Guildhall, High Street
Bath, BA1 5AW

A grand historic building in the centre of Bath.

Avon Rugby Football Club
London Road West
Bath, BA1 7DA

Dress

Suits or smart casual

No need for anything black tie. February in Bath is genuinely cold, so bring a warm layer — there’s a walk between cars and doors at both venues.

Getting Here

Travel

By train

Bath Spa is the station for the ceremony — a short walk to the Guildhall.

Direct services from London Paddington, Bristol and Cardiff.

Driving & parking

Bath has a Clean Air Zone, and central parking is limited and pricey.

Avon RFC has its own parking. For the ceremony, consider a Park & Ride or a central car park. Worth checking whether the Clean Air Zone charge applies to your vehicle before travelling.

Between venues

A few miles from the Guildhall out to Avon RFC, so a short drive or taxi.

Where to Stay

Accommodation

Bath books up quickly even in February, so worth sorting early. A few starting points — do check current prices and availability yourself.

Closest to the reception

Bailbrook House Hotel

In Batheaston, set in its own grounds and a short drive from Avon RFC. The most convenient option if you’d rather not travel far after the reception.

Central Bath

City-centre hotels

Handy for the ceremony and for making a weekend of it. Apex City of Bath is one of several within walking distance of the Guildhall.

Self-catering

Apartments & cottages

Often better value for families or groups sharing, and there are a number around Batheaston and Bathampton close to the reception.

Rough costs

As a rule of thumb in Bath, mid-range hotels sit around £100–150 a night and higher-end nearer £200+, though February is off-peak so you may do better. Prices not verified — please check directly.
