Wedding fayre returns to Minehead - and it's free


IT is back by popular demand after a gap of several years.
The Crier has teamed up with bridal shop Treasured Moments, of Friday Street, Minehead, and Minehead Football Club to arrange a wedding fayre in the town.
The free-to-attend day-long event takes place at the football club premises, off Alexandra Road on Sunday, February 25, from 10.30 am to 4 pm.
It features businesses which provide everything a West Somerset bride and groom might need for their special day, from chauffeur-driven limousines to flowers to dresses to Indian cuisine for the reception, and details of venues for weddings.
The Crier’s marketing and promotions consultant, Dudley Seale, said: “There used to be a regular wedding fayre in Minehead but it stopped a few years ago.
“So, when Treasured Moments approached The Crier about sponsoring its return, we were only too pleased to help as part of our on-going work to support the community we serve.
“I made a call to the football chairman, Bryan Leaker, who is helping to revive their fortunes, and he quickly gave his support for hosting the wedding fayre.
“We have about 30 exhibitors taking part.
“Entry is free and there are refreshments provided and also a fashion show for visitors to enjoy.”
As well as churches, there are nine approved premises in West Somerset where weddings can be conducted, and a nearby recent addition to the list is Oakhampton Park, a Georgian family property not far from Brompton Ralph.
