NYE Pool Party
Feel free to join us for a low key pool party at our place from mid afternoon.
Stop by for as long as you like and go on elsewhere after if you’re looking to really light it up at midnight.
This is not an official wedding event, more of an FYI. BYOB and chilled food set up.
Bring swimmers and a towel if you fancy a dip.

Camp Breakfast
Everyone staying on and offsite will be welcome.
Choose your own adventure!
Let’s get out there! Think activities like hiking, mountain biking, quad biking, golf, exploring the beaches etc! More on this to come - we’ll be asking you to book in!
Lakeside hangout
We’ve lined up the garden games, loungers and the pool floats for a lazy afternoon of hanging out around Cherry’s swimming lake
Monochrome mingle at ALMENKERK vineyard
We’re going to get glammed up for a pre-wedding evening of more sophisticated fun.
This event will end early at 10.30pm so we can all get a good night’s rest before the big day! Shuttles will run to the venue.

Wedding Day hike
Join us for a stretch of the legs - don’t worry, we’ll be going at normal people’s pace, not Paul’s - so all welcome! Aiming for it to be 2-3 hours.
12:00pm: Wedding Day brunch
Hellie’s life mission is secretly to make the perfect pancake, so the wedding day needs at least a nod to this. Open to everybody!
Mental preparation!
Take the time to get in the zone - whatever your routine for prepping for a big night is - napping, a few lakeside beers or cards in the shade - you do what you need to do.
6:00pm: Sundowner drinks and ceremony
Paul and Hellie have a few nice things they’d like to say to each other after 13.5 years of teaming up.
Wedding dinner and throwing shapes!
No curfew! However, we’ll start running shuttles for those staying offsite from midnight.

Recovery breakfast
