Euros)/night)
Tel. 00 44 (0)8701977269
This is a travel inn so it is clean,
comfortable, cheap but a bit bland and badly situated if you do not have a car.
On the other hand it is very practical for people not drinking and coming by
car, since it is situated 2 minutes from the motorway exit and 5 minutes drive
from the party at the farm.
Tudor House (in town, double en suite 50 pounds/night,
standard 45 pounds/night, family 52 pounds per night)
*Highly recommended*

This pub has always been my favourite pub
in Canterbury. It is situated right beside the river in the quietest area of

AOB
If anyone other than the usual Father, groom or best
man plans to provide extra amusements, please let Charlotte, Timur, Charlotte´s parents
(pete@kingfisherstar.com), or Timur´s brother, Achim know. It is
particularly recommended to include embarrassing moments out of the groom´s former life. The bride, on the other hand, will not
speak to anyone ever again who cares to remind her of anything she´d rather forget.
