Devon Wedding Fairs

Great Torrington and Bideford Wedding Fairs return this Autumn. Couples planning to tie the knot are being invited to find out how to make their day extra special at two upcoming wedding fairs. Wedding suppliers will be attending the Great Torrington Wedding Fair at Great Torrington Town Hall on Sunday 6th October and Bideford Wedding Fair at Bideford Pannier Market on Sunday 24th November - both events run from 10am until 3pm. The event will feature a catwalk show coordinated by Devon Air Ambulance at 1pm. The charity will be showcasing their preloved wedding gowns available to try and buy on the day. Jamie Craner, from Devon Air Ambulance, said: "When most people think of second-hand bridal they may think that choice and range will he lacking. "This is definitely not the case with the new to you range of pre-loved wedding dresses at Devon Air Ambulance's Bideford shop. "Many brides choose to resell their wedding dresses or donate them to a good cause as it's simply not practical to store them long term. As a society, we don't tend to keep things for very long and though, historically, a wedding dress was something treasured for a lifetime, wedding dresses that are being stored on top of wardrobes or in the loft deserve another chance to shine. "Thanks to many kind donors across Devon, there, are lots of beautiful pre-loved wedding gowns to select from at Devon Air Ambulance's Bideford store. Whether it is a 1950s tea dress, a modern fishtail gown or something full and flowing from a fairy-tale,brides-to-be will find gowns across a range of sizes.’’ This is a free entry event - donations are welcome and all donations collected will go the air ambulance.

The Quirky Wedding Fayre brings together the most unique wedding suppliers in a truly quirky venue to help make your wedding one of a kind! Are you fed up of going around wedding fairs and seeing hundreds of suppliers offering the same thing? Sick of feeling judged for wanting something different? We are too! That's why we created The Quirky Wedding Fayre. Your wedding should be all about you! So why would you settle for having a day that's the same as everyone else's? We are the UK's favourite inclusive alternative wedding fayre! Nestled in the stunning Mid Devon hills, close to the pretty hamlet of Stoodleigh, Hawke Barn is a former threshing barn that has been transformed into an animal and nature lover’s paradise! Experience the peace and tranquility of the stunning surrounding countryside, whilst discovering the venue's blend of unique indoor and outdoor spaces. We're not kidding when we say it's perfect for animal lovers either - it is on the site of a farm specialising in horse-racing, with opportunities to meet some of the venue's cuddlier residents, including Teddy and Gerald, two live-in teddy bear sheep who love a celebration! We've handpicked a talented bunch of wedding professionals who all offer something different from the standard wedding packages and adhere to our zero-judgement ethos, and they're all ready and waiting to show you what they've got up their sleeves. Standard entry to all of our fayres is FREE! Or you can opt for VIP tickets. Quiet Hour - 2pm to 3pm We understand that wedding fairs can be a really overwhelming place full of lots of people and lots of noise! To assist those who may be anxious, overwhelmed or neurodivergent, the hour between 2pm and 3pm at our fayres will be Quirky Quiet Hour. Quiet Hour is an individually ticketed timeslot where those who feel they need a quieter browsing experience can attend. This venue is fully accessible. Please note though that it is an farm venue and ground will be uneven.
