Overview
- Bath Abbey’s website states it will be closed for visiting on December 27, the day the couple are due to marry.
- Multiple outlets report the pair have reserved the abbey for the entire day for a roughly 90‑minute service, with security expected to deter onlookers and block photos.
- Abbey rules require a ‘special connection’ to marry there, and coverage notes the couple’s qualifying link has not been publicly explained.
- Reports say Adam Peaty has uninvited most relatives after a public family rift, with his mother Caroline barred from the service and sister Bethany set to attend.
- Typical wedding hire is cited at about £2,500, with reports that the couple are paying more for exclusive use and that around 200 guests, including David and Victoria Beckham, are expected.
