Wedding Fair

Beeston Manor is hosting a wedding fair on Sunday 29 November, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. It's one of those days where you can get a good look at a venue and a fair few suppliers in one go, and Beeston Manor has a bit of its own news to show off: it's recently added new accommodation, including suites and a bridal suite, so if you're thinking about the night of the wedding as well as the day, it's a good time to see how that works in practice.

The fair is run in partnership with Little White Books, and you can pick up a free copy of the magazine while you're there. It's a handy thing to take home and look through later when the day's over.

If you're weighing up your options, it helps to know where Beeston Manor sits among the other venues around Preston. There's Park Hall Hotel and Spa, a 140-bedroom Radisson Individuals property that dates back to a Benedictine monastery founded in 669 AD and has played host to names like Tommy Cooper and Bruce Forsyth. Then there's Longridge House, the former Ferraris Country Hotel, renovated by the family team behind Alberts and the Castlefield Rooms. Lancashire's wedding fairs and open evenings bring together venues, suppliers and experts, so you can explore a few different directions in one place.

Entry is free, whether you book in advance or just turn up on the day. It runs from 11:30am to 2:30pm at Beeston Manor, Preston.
