The removal van has gone, the boxes are (mostly!) unpacked, and it’s time for the house warming party! But what if you’re looking for a more meaningful way of celebrating your big move?

After all the anticipation - and stress - of moving house, a housewarming ceremony can be a wonderful way of settling you into your new home.

You can choose to have a few special guests or a whole houseful, whatever appeals to you. Your house warming ceremony can include crossing the threshold, blessing your new home, tree-planting, burying a time capsule or any number of ways which help you make your first memories in your new home.
