Dress Code

Formal, in autumn colour

Rich, earthy tones and good texture — and something you can comfortably wear from two in the afternoon until late.

01 — The Brief

What we’re asking for

For Her

Long dresses are encouraged — gowns and floor-length attire.

Bring a sweater, shawl or wrap. October evenings in the Cotswolds get genuinely cold, and part of the night is spent moving between rooms.

For Him

Suits, please — and a tie if you like one.

Browns, olives, deep greens and warm neutrals all work well with the palette below.

02 — The Palette

Footwear

The Manor House has landscaped grounds and a good deal of gravel. Worth bearing in mind when you pick your shoes.

Weather

October in the Cotswolds is cool and occasionally wet. A shawl, wrap or blazer is strongly recommended for the evening.

Most Importantly

Wear something that makes you feel wonderful and ready to celebrate.
