October Wedding Fayre

Join us for the Garstang Wedding Fayre on Sunday 4th October, from 12pm to 3pm. Whether you've just got engaged or you're adding the finishing touches, it's the easiest way to plan your day in one afternoon.

The whole venue will be dressed for a wedding, so you can picture your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening party in the rooms themselves. Enjoy a complimentary drink and canapés as you look around. Our events team and wedding coordinator will be on hand to talk you through our wedding packages for up to 160 guests.

You'll meet a hand-picked line-up of local suppliers: photographers and a videographer, cake designers, wedding cars, stationers, a florist, venue dressers, hair and make-up artists, live entertainers, jewellers, a celebrant and even alpacas.

Fayre offer: book a 2027 wedding within six weeks of the fayre and lock in 2026 pricing.

Happy Couple at their wedding at Garstang Country Hotel

Mr & Mrs McCann

We had our wedding day on the 05.09.2026 at Garstang! We had a twilight wedding and anything we asked catered for and never too much! The team especially Julie were amazing from start to finish. The whole day was amazing and we owe a lot of that to the amazing staff at Garstang! I would do it all over again if I could.
