Overview
- Bath Abbey’s website lists December 27 as closed to visitors, with reports that the couple have exclusive, all‑day use and security intended to deter photography.
- The ceremony is reported to last about 90 minutes despite the full‑day closure, drawing criticism from locals who view the arrangement as inconsiderate.
- Roughly 200 guests are expected, with Gordon and Tana Ramsay attending and media reports suggesting David and Victoria Beckham are on the list.
- Abbey rules require a ‘special connection’ to marry there, and reports do not detail the couple’s qualifying link.
- The ongoing family dispute includes reports that Peaty’s mother will not attend, his sister Bethany may be the only relative present, his brother James was arrested last month over alleged threats, and his mother has asked to be removed from the Being Gordon Ramsay series.
