When you book The Sessions House, you have exclusive use so it will only be your Wedding Guests on site. Wedding Gifts can be placed in a separate room, however, it may not always be possible to lock the room and The Sessions House does not accept responsibility for any lost, damaged, or stolen gifts.

Our bar and music licences both end at midnight and therefore we ask that guests vacate The Sessions House by 12.30 am at the latest. If you wish to extend your celebration beyond this time, this can be arranged with us at least 3 weeks ahead of your event.

Whilst The Sessions House is located right in the heart of Spalding, we strongly recommend that you pre-book your taxis in advance of the evening. Should you need any recommendations for taxi companies, please ask our Weddings Team.

We have car parking for up to 30 cars, which guests may use overnight and the following morning. While you are welcome to leave your vehicle on our premises, this is at your discretion and at your own risk. You must collect your vehicle the following morning. Additional council car parks are within a 2 minute walk of The Session House.

We welcome our couples to set up for their wedding the day before, subject to prior agreement. Due to limited space and food hygiene regulations, we are unable to store any items in our fridges/ freezers. Therefore, we recommend cakes/ cheese towers are dropped off on your actual wedding day.

Since The Sessions House is an historical building, we unfortunately are unable to install an elevator. Upon request, we can put out ramps for certain steps but not all. We do have gravel stones in our courtyard and 14 steps leading to our original Courtroom, so this is worth advising your guests about ahead of the day. If you have guests with accessibility requirements, please contact us for more information.

We are able to provide a microphone and speaker system upon request for speeches only.

Smoke bombs are permitted away from the house but are used at your own risk. Please ensure these are purchased from a reputable retailer.

The designated person must keep your dog on a lead at all times and be responsible to pick up after your dog in case nature calls, and they have a little accident! Do ensure that your dog is onsite for a maximum of 2 hours, this will cover your Ceremony time and also provide plenty of time for some photographs afterwards. For health and safety reasons, we cannot allow pets in any other areas of Norwood Park, therefore your dog may not be present for the Drinks Reception or Wedding Breakfast.

While we prefer all wedding cakes to be made by a professional baker, we do understand that often you would like a homemade wedding cake instead.

Should you choose to use a family member's service, they will also be required to sign a document to ensure that they accept full liability for issues arising from the product or service they provided.

We have had bouncy castles in the past at The Sessions House. The only suitable area for bouncy castles is The Courtyard, and please be aware that this is gravelled so the supplier must have appropriate mats to prevent damage or injury. All safety paperwork is required from the supplier and they are responsible for hosting and overseeing safety.
