Marquees, teepees and even a stage have gone up at the venue where the couple are believe to be holding their reception this Saturday .

The 32-year-old and her art dealer boyfriend, 27, are said to have invited a number of famous faces, including Ed Sheeran , Rita Ora and even Princess Eugenie.

More than 300 of the couple's closest friends and family are set to attend the huge event.

Pictures from the venue yesterday show around 50 staff working to get the grounds ready in time for Ellie's big day.

The huge stage has been set up under a glass structure and will no doubt play host to some big name bands.

Tents have been seen in the Rose Garden, while teepees have been erected in several areas to give guests plenty of space for glamping when the evening draws to a close.

Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton - the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - are expected to leave their three kids at home and let their hair down at the A-list bash.

Ellie has opted for a cool 'festival style' evening on the grounds, with VIP pods for guests to stay in as well as golf buggies to drive them around.

A host of vegan delights await the guests, who will quaff posh Bollinger champagne as they watch the newlyweds celebrate their love.
