Leave the driving to us

Coach from Durham to Hartlepool

A coach will be provided to take guests from The Story to The Golden Lion after the ceremony, so you can relax and enjoy the day without worrying about the journey. The coach departs The Story at 2:00 pm sharp, arriving in Hartlepool in time for the drinks reception.

If you'd prefer to drive, both venues have parking, and the journey between them takes around 30 minutes.

Good to know

Questions, answered

What should I wear?

Formal wear, please. Our bridal party will be in black and white, but guests are free to wear whatever colours you feel fabulous in.

Can I bring my children?

Absolutely — children are very welcome and we can't wait to celebrate with the whole family. Just remember to include them when you RSVP so we can sort their meals.

Where can I stay?

Speak with The Serviced Accommodation Company (or just ask Chloe!) who can help book an Airbnb for you, and there are plenty of hotels close to The Golden Lion too.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We're having an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones and cameras away while we say our vows. Our photographer will capture everything, and we'll share the photos with you. Snap away for the rest of the day!

Is there a gift list?

Your presence is truly the greatest gift. If you'd like to give something, a contribution towards our Familymoon would mean the world — you'll find our bank details and a QR code in the Gifts section above.
