Hampshire Wedding Network - Alternative Fayre

26/11/2024

BIG NEWS!!!!! 😝😝

You might not know this but when our alternative fayre sold out completely we were inundated with requests for more tickets 🎟️ pretty much on the daily.

We were gutted every time we had to say to them sorry but we can’t release anymore tickets due to safety concerns about crowd numbers and parking/traffic concerns.

We’re so grateful to the team at The Botley Park Hotel & Spa but with this in mind, we knew we had to move to a bigger, better placed venue so we wouldn’t have to turn so many of you down.

So I’m beyond thrilled to announce that all of our fayres will be held at St Mary’s Stadium the home of arguably the best football team on the South Coast depending on your opinion 😉❤️🤍💙

So tickets will not be limited and we will have double the amount available to the public!!! 🥳🥳🥳

So get your tickets reserved today for our amazing Alt fayre with VIP bags available to buy on the day!

THANK YOU! 🤩

Absolutely blown away with today, we knew it was going to be good and well received but… just so buzzing with how it went!

Thank you to everyone who attended and gave us such amazing feedback, you loved the fayre and the amazing suppliers! An especially big thanks to those who had travelled long distances such as Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Devon & Guernsey 🇬🇬 ✈️ I’m so glad you all enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed putting it on for you.

And thank you to our wonderful suppliers, it was so great to finally meet some of you who I’ve been following for years and years! You were all incredible and it was so lovely to hear about how much you enjoyed the fayre, the atmosphere and community we’re creating and how you’re all going to be back in 2025!

Important notice

As our alternative fayre falls on Remeberance Sunday we feel it’s important to show our respect to those who have fallen in service & will be honouring the two minute silence before our fayre starts.

We will be observing the 2 minute silence in the entrance lobby of the Hampshire Suite with all suppliers & members of the public.

Love this alternative wedding for a local couple.

Their wedding we presided over by our fantastic celebrant Cat Hopkins Celebrant who vibed with the couple so much they asked her to stay as a guest for the duration!

🖤🦇10th Novemeber - Alternative Wedding Fayre🖤🦇

The response above is what I’ve heard the most from couples and suppliers alike who are just as thrilled as me that we finally have an alternative wedding fayre “down saff”!

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to start a north south divide! It’s just that most of the super talented suppliers seem to be in Leeds/Birmingham & couples down south are desperate to meet them!

So whether you’re a goth bride looking for a gorgeous black gown or you’re abit into sci-fi and want a geek chic wedding then come to our fayre!

And if your a supplier whose either based down south or you’re based up north and want to meet with your fan based down south then drop us a form on our website!
