🥂 Wedding Weekend Plans
Friday 22nd May Get-together - We'd love for you to join us from 8pm at The Olive Tree, 9 Dicconson Terrace, Lytham FY8 5JY, for a relaxed pre-wedding get-together. There will be a welcome drink and some nibbles rather than a full meal, and it will be a lovely chance for everyone to meet and ease into the celebrations before the big day.
The wedding is on Saturday, and since it's a bank holiday weekend in both the UK and Norway, you'll have Monday off for travel, which gives you Sunday to explore!
Staying on in Lytham?
For anyone staying in Lytham the day after the wedding, there's a big outdoor concert taking place in the grounds of Lytham Hall: Supersonic Queen. Tor and I are going, and it would be lovely to see you there too! You can also find the event on Lytham Hall's official What's On page, here.
