The Riverside Full Description
Situated on a working farm and equestrian centre, the Riverside has superb access from M27 and M3. The venue has previously hosted public music festivals can can accommodate for 499 guests with ample parking and glamping available for all. For those not wishing to glamp, the local area is brimming with excellent hotels and family run B&B's. Riverside venue provides a stunning back drop for a wedding festival with tree lined fields to one side and the riverbank nestled to the other. We have use of a secondary field for glamping at larger events but can easily scale the venue down to one field for more intimate celebrations.

WOOLSTOCK 2017 QUITE SIMPLY ROCKED!
WOOLSTOCK 2017 QUITE SIMPLY ROCKED - these guys made our 3 day festival wedding weekend absolutely incredible.....we are still buzzing, was just an insane and mad few days. Our guests are broken, but in the best way possible!! Go hard or go home - we all went hard, but we did NOT want to go home!! Couldn't speak more highly of TWFC, the team worked their socks off to make our wedding festival weekend one to remember forever. The text below is the review I gave them last year during the planning, but i have to update this so that I can tell you how awesome it was post Woolstock. Memories we will treasure forever, thank you so so much. Lee and I love you long time xxxxx LAST YEARS NOTE: Currently planning our Festival Wedding with these guys - they are simply THE best to work with. A great team with an amazing energy and passion for creating the perfect festival wedding experience - they just get this stuff, and make you feel so well looked after. Could not recommend these guys highly enough - you need them in your life! Roll on our wedding day next year is all I can say - but the planning is all part of the fun since we met these guys and I am sure we will feel lost without them once we are married!! :) xxx

They smashed it out the park My partner and I got married a few weeks ago. SJ and Rowan you were fantastic from the very first moment we met, until the very end and your team worked so hard and nothing was too much trouble. From the hay bales to the food and the incredible site it was mind blowing and everything my partner and I wanted. So a massive thankyou from us. This company is going places
