​Let's celebrate!

​SO. Mary and Jonas would like to invite you to visit their new home. However they are both aware that there are likely to be too many friends than they can fit inside the property at once.

The solution: They have hired a space in a local pub and will be allowing people to visit and tour the home through a well thought-out and definitely well executed time-booking system!

​When you register for this event, you will asked a preference of your time to visit the flat. This information will then be used to allocate time slots for each guest to be escorted from the nearby pub, to the flat.

​You can use the allocated time to view our property and make judgements about our choice of decor, before being escorted back to the primary venue for continued socialising, food and drink.

​Venue

​Our local pub and venue for this occasion will be the High Horse Pub, in Newbury.

​Parking

​Parking is available directly next to the pub, here. Alternatively you can park at the nearby shopping centre, Parkway.

​Food & Drink

​Note that the space has been booked from 12-6, this means you should plan to enjoy lunch at the venue (if you feel comfortable doing so). Here's a link to the food menu.

​Dinner plans have not been arranged by the hosts but they may make suggestions closer to the time.

​The High Horse servers a good variety of different drinks and you should have no issues finding something you like.

​You

​YOU are more than welcome to join Jonas and Mary for any amount of time during this event. Please do not feel as though you must stay for the full event duration. Please note however that arriving later in the day or towards the end of the event, may compromise your ability to visit the home.

​Accessibility

​The venue itself can be accessed via wheelchair, is dog friendly and has outdoor seating.

​None of the above are true for Jonas and Mary's property. Jonas can be convinced to allow a dog into the property but may need some bribing. Mary is very much the opposite.

​The property in question is a 2nd floor flat and there is no lift. Please take this into account if you struggle with stairs for any reason.
