Celebrities, business tycoons and famous people arrive in Somerset for a long-awaited social wedding this weekend.
Helicopters were in the sky to take guests to Babington House, an exclusive members-only club near Frome, for the wedding of owner Nick Jones’ daughter.
Jones is the founding member and father of Soho House, a luxury club that started in Soho, London but now has clubs all over the world including New York, Paris and Rome.

Babington, which is near the village of Mells bei Frome, is the company’s favorite.
It is a beautiful country house with converted barns, cow stalls, swimming pools, lodges on the lake and several restaurants.
It’s really cool and a Jones favorite which is why the family picked it for their daughter’s wedding.
Great preparations were under way on Friday for the wedding on Saturday – Babington has its own small chapel on the premises.

The weather is perfect and the house and bedrooms were closed to members from 6pm on Friday for the weekend of the wedding celebrations.
For overcrowded guests who are driven to and from the main house for the festivities, there is a yurt village with its own marquee.
On Friday afternoon, the pool area was full of glamorous and famous guests enjoying a barbecue and cocktails before the big event.
Soho House was on the international news this week as they have just listed their company on the UK Stock Exchange and are offering shares to their worldwide members.
Nick Jones has appeared on national and international television networks to talk about it, but he can now relax at his favorite Somerset club for his daughter’s gorgeous wedding.
Listed Babington House has hosted a number of celebrity weddings over the years, including Zoe Ball and Fatboy Slim, James Corden and Julia Carey, and Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green.
