Parking

All weddings at Folkerton Mill include complimentary coach transport for guests. Your hosts will be able to provide collection points and timings. We kindly encourage guests to make use of the coach wherever possible. As a rural venue, parking is limited, and travelling together helps us minimise traffic and local disturbance, reduce our environmental impact and ensure everyone can relax and enjoy the celebrations without worrying about getting to and from the venue. It's just one of the ways we help create a more sustainable and stress-free wedding experience.
We do understand that there are guests who may need to drive. If you are able please let us know in advance, particularly if you are a blue badge holder and/or require a space close to the venue. You can text or WhatsApp on +44(0)7901730076

Accessibility

All areas are accessible, however assistance may be required for anyone using a wheelchair.

The venue includes level access and ramps between spaces, along with wide, non-automated doors that can accommodate wheelchair users and those with mobility aids.

Surfaces across the site vary slightly in keeping with the historic setting. Indoors, floors are generally smooth and even, while outdoor areas include a mix of compacted gravel, coir matting, grass and stone pathways. These are well-maintained and suitable for most wheelchairs and buggies, though some areas may be more uneven than others and wheelchair users may requires some assistance.

Being a rural farm, some of our surfaces are more natural. We’ve done our best to make it heel-friendly, but we’d definitely recommend bringing a pair of flats for dancing later on!

We’re always happy to talk through specific requirements in advance and can suggest the most accessible routes and areas to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported throughout their visit.
