So, for anyone who has just got engaged: congratulations! Here are some forthcoming fairs (all with free admission) that will offer boundless inspiration.

The North London Wedding Fair at Forty Hall

The on-site Banqueting Suite will be open, the courtyard will be buzzing with activities (weather permitting) and the picturesque walled garden will be open to view. There will be fashion shows throughout the day, live entertainment, a variety of exhibitors and masterclasses. Open from 11am to 3pm.

The East Hertfordshire Wedding Fair at Ware Priory

Sunday 12th March Ware Priory combines medieval splendour with a modern, spacious wedding venue. Set in seven acres of picturesque riverside gardens, it is an ideal wedding venue. The Priory itself is a Grade I listed building, while adjacent is Fletcher’s Lea, built in 2006 and with a bright and contemporary atmosphere. You can explore both at this wedding fair. There will also be fashion shows at 12.30pm and 2pm held in the Priory Hall and the Ware Priory team will be on hand to answer any questions you have. Open from 11am to 3pm.

It is set within the beautiful Hatfield Park, where Queen Elizabeth I spent much of her childhood, and hosts two dramatic wedding venues – the historic and grand Old Palace and the contemporary Riding School building – both offer a timeless and magical backdrop to your big day. The Luxury Wedding Fair includes fashion shows at 12.30 and 2pm and there will be more than 60 wedding professionals from a wide range of suppliers present. Open from 11am to 3pm.
