I spent last weekend camping up in north Yorkshire at the Camp Hill Estate for the event of the year – Wedfest!

Rather than opt for a regular wedding, Darren and Claire opted to make a whole weekend of it, and include camping, and get married in the open air! Luckily the weather was perfect for the whole weekend, so no wellies were needed!

We all arrived on the Friday afternoon to pitch our tents… I was camping near to Rob, Clare and Tabitha, along with some of their friends who were really nice. The first night we had a barbecue in the woods, followed by late night consumption of alcohol back at our tents!

Then on the day of the wedding, after a breakfast of bacon rolls, we all chilled a bit before getting changed into our smart clothes (something that isn’t a particularly easy thing to do in a tent!). Then it was time to head over to the wedding area.

The ceremony was really great – it was very informal and relaxed, and totally fitted Darren and Claire! Straight after the marriage was official, they both ran around the the circle of guests high-fiving everyone – so cool! It was  followed by more food in the form of an afternoon tea, plus music and dancing, and then after that there was yet another barbecue of burgers and hot dogs!

It was such a fun weekend, and everyone had a really great time. And on the Sunday morning, I even managed a bit of a bike ride around the estate (hopefully working off the ridiculous amount of meat I’d eaten over the 3 days!)
