The Bentley Hotel Wedding Fair

The Bentley Hotel Wedding Fair is on at the Best Western Plus Bentley Hotel on Sunday 25 October, from 11:00am to 2:30pm. It's hosted by Empire Wedding Fairs, a family-run business that also does suit hire and bespoke tailoring, so they've got a fair bit of skin in the game when it comes to the dress code side of things.

The whole point is to get a wide range of wedding suppliers under one roof. You'll find bridal wear and suits alongside wedding cakes, flowers and venue styling, photographers and videographers, hair and beauty, jewellery, entertainment, and travel and honeymoons. The idea is that you can meet vendors face-to-face, taste a few treats and get some expert advice without having to spend your weekends driving all over the county to different appointments. If you're still in the early stages of planning, it's a handy way to see what's out there in one go.

There are a couple of extras worth knowing about before you head down. Every couple who attends is entered into a prize draw to win a spa day and meal for two. And if you're looking at the venue itself, there's a 10% discount on the Crystal or Diamond wedding packages if you book on the day, plus a complimentary drink on arrival. It's a good time to get a feel for the place and talk through the details if you're considering it for your own wedding.

Entry is free, and walk-ins are welcome, so you don't need to book ahead. On-site parking is also free, which makes it easy enough to pop in for an hour or two. The hotel is at Newark Road, South Hykeham, Lincoln LN6 9NH, and the fair runs from 11:00am to 2:30pm on Sunday 25 October.
