What is a ceremony master? In the Netherlands you appoint your friend to be the ceremony master. They will know exactly what is supposed to happen (like a wedding planner) and if you have any questions they are the ones to contact. 🙂

There is also another parking spot for a shorter walk: Ashley Mill Lane, WA14 3PT.

You can also park in the field directly opposite the forest, let us know if you would like this.

If you are coming directly to Altrincham on the 27th: you have some options:

  • get the train to Stockport then Navigation road, then walk 15 minutes to the town hall
  • get the train to Manchester Piccadilly then the tram/Uber to Altrincham.
