Getting there

St John's Church, Kenilworth and the Chesford Grange Hotel are each about half a mile from the A46/A452 junction which is just south of Kenilworth but in opposite directions so they are about a mile apart.

For St John's Church (OS grid reference SP 292 711) drive north east - into Kenilworth - from the A46/A452 junction. After a short distance you come to another roundabout with a petrol station in the middle. The church is by this roundabout. The car park at the church is small so you may need to park in nearby residential streets.

For the Chesford Grange Hotel (OS grid reference SP 303 697) drive south west -towards Leamington - from the A46/A452 junction. Take the first right (the B4115). The Chesford Grange is about 50 yards on the left. There is ample parking.

Church

The church doesn't allow confetti. The plan is to give people bubbles to blow instead. For those ladies who are worried about it (esp. King's students), hats are optional.

Reception

Entry is via the hotel reception, which is at the far end of the building from the main car park. The drinks reception is expected to be in the Tudor Bar. The 'reception line up' will be at around 5.45pm, just before the meal, which is in the Avon Suite.

The evening reception is from around 8pm to 1am in three rooms, one of which will have a disco (till 12.30am) and a bar, one a buffet and one a quieter room.

We would prefer that there was no smoking throughout the afternoon and evening receptions.

There will be a guest book to sign so think of something to say in advance!

Overnight stays

The Chesford Grange Hotel (01926-859331) offers a reduced rate of £35 per person per night in an en suite double or twin room (£15 surcharge for a single room). You will need to say you are a guest at the Robertson/Williams wedding to get this reduction.

The Quality Hotel (01926-858331) is within walking distance of the Chesford Grange. Information about other hotels/guest houses etc in the area can be obtained from South Warwickshire Tourist Board (01926-742767).

Lunch

If you want to have lunch in Kenilworth there are a number of pubs plus a Sainsbury's that sells sandwiches about 250 yards past the church in the same road. (The reception meal won't be till around 6pm).
