Facilities

• Event coordination support from the Swanage Pier Trust to help with timings, access and safety.
• Flexible outdoor spaces for ceremonies and drinks — layout depends on expected guest numbers and weather.
• Safe access points and clearly managed guest flow onto and off the pier; plan transport and mobility needs in advance.
• Pet-friendly venue — well-suited for couples who want to include dogs in the ceremony or photos.

Catering

The pier facilitates drinks and canapé-style receptions on the structure itself; catering is typically arranged in consultation with the pier team so that timing and service work smoothly in the outdoor setting. Couples should confirm what food and beverage services are permitted on the pier, and whether the venue recommends or requires particular suppliers.

For larger seated meals, consider nearby indoor venues or marquees on land that can be used in combination with the pier for drinks and photos.
