Between the celebrations

The beach
A private path from the gardens leads down steep steps to Polhawn Cove. Beach access depends on the tide and weather.
About Polhawn Cove ↗Gardens and sea views
The lawns and summerhouse overlook the cove. Enjoy a wander or a quiet moment outside between the planned parts of the day. Bring a layer for the coastal breeze.

Are there steps or uneven paths?
The Fort is a historic coastal building. There are ramps to the rear entrance and ramps can be provided for the garden steps, but bathrooms are not purpose-built accessible facilities. Please contact us before the day so we can check the route and facilities for your needs.

What is available for children on the invitation?
The venue has highchairs and travel cots, with limited numbers available. Let us know what you need in advance so we can arrange it. Please follow the names on your invitation when replying.
Can I bring confetti?
The venue permits paper or rose-petal confetti outdoors only. Please avoid plastic confetti and don’t pick flowers or greenery from the grounds. Sky lanterns and balloon releases are not permitted.
Is smoking allowed?
There is no smoking inside the Fort. Please ask the venue team about any permitted outdoor area on the day.
Can I bring a dog?
Please check with us before making plans to bring a dog. Although the venue allows well-behaved dogs, we need to agree arrangements for our wedding first.
