A licence to wed

The Best Western Clifton Hotel was recently granted a licence to hold civil ceremonies, enabling couples to host their wedding days in one location. Folkestone's new venue is a charming 19th-century hotel boasting a Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill and the popular Ocean Bleu Bar & Lounge. Its three function suites are now available for intimate and classic wedding breakfasts and receptions for 70 guests.

Situated on the famous Leas with views across the Channel, this makes for a picturesque venue and well worth a visit. The team is always happy to show off the lovely hotel, and you can make an appointment by ringing 01303 851 231 or check out the website www.thecliftonhotel.com.
