OSTERLEY Park could soon be available as a venue for same sex wedding ceremonies, under new plans by the National Trust.

Following an approach from Pink Weddings, the UK's leading gay-owned and dedicated same sex wedding company, the Trust has agreed to enable its properties to be marketed through the Pink Weddings website.

The ceremonies offered by Pink Weddings are non-religious and nonstatutory so do not require a civil licence.

The National Trust, Europe's largest conservation charity, offers the widest choice ever of beautiful and unusual venues in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for couples seeking a truly breathtaking backdrop for their special day.
