Information for Guests

Bracken Bank Lodge is situated off junction 41 of the M6 and is easily located from the A6. Please download a map for reference on your journey.

There is a very wide range of accommodation in the area for you to choose from, a large selection can be found on www.golakes.co.uk We recommend booking at your earliest convenience. Click here for lots of local accommodation . If you know other guests attending the wedding you might find it great fun to book a large property together, Staffield Hall is fabulous.

There are also plenty of taxi firms to choose from, they will need booking well in advance. Musical entertainments finish at 11pm and the marquee closes at midnight. You will find that booking your taxi for between 11.30 and 11.45 is ideal (and a lot cheaper than a booking for midnight). If you have booked accommodation with a group of other guests you may find booking a coach a good idea.
