Milton Keynes Wedding Show

The Milton Keynes Wedding Show returns to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Milton Keynes on Sunday 15 November, running from 11am to 3pm. It's now in its 16th year, so it's a bit of a fixture in the local calendar rather than a one-off. The show takes over the hotel's ballroom at Stadium MK, the home of the MK Dons, and brings together around 80 wedding suppliers, all local to the area.

The setup is straightforward: you walk around the ballroom and meet the people behind the businesses you're looking at, and you can book them on the day if you find someone you like. Outside the entrance, wedding cars are lined up for you to see in the flesh, which is a handy way to get a feel for the different styles without having to track them down one by one. With 80 exhibitors in one room, it's a good spot to tick off a fair chunk of your list in a single morning.

Central Exhibitions Ltd is behind the event. They've been running wedding shows across Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and Northampton for years, and they've kept admission free throughout. They also hand out a goodie bag to everyone who comes along on arrival. If you're planning a wedding nearby, it's a low-pressure way to see who's operating in the area and get a few things sorted in one go.

Entry is free, and the show runs from 11am to 3pm on Sunday 15 November at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Milton Keynes, Stadium MK, Stadium Way West, Bletchley, MK1 1ST. Parking at the venue is paid.
