Wedding Fayre 2026: Meet Suppliers at Our Lancashire Venue

The Garstang Wedding Fayre 2026 takes place on Sunday 4th October at Garstang Country Hotel, Bowgreave Drive, Garstang, Lancashire, PR3 1YE — one of the most-loved wedding venues in Lancashire, just a short drive from Preston. Entry is open to all couples, with a complimentary drink and canapés on arrival, and the venue will be fully dressed for a wedding so you can see it at its best. Suppliers on the day include award-winning photographers, a videographer, cake designers, wedding cars, stationers, a florist, venue dressers, hair and make-up artists, live entertainers, jewellers, a celebrant and even alpacas. Couples who book a 2027 wedding within six weeks of the fayre can lock in 2026 pricing, and the hotel's wedding coordinator will be on hand to talk through wedding packages in Lancashire for up to 160 guests.
