Wow, what a day! – (Photographs added!)

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

A big “Thank You” to our exhibitors, visitors and Swanmore Parishioners who all helped make this year’s Hampshire Wedding Fair the best yet!

In spite of the uncertain weather, we welcomed more than 250 guests to visit over 50 stands. The fashion show was a great success and we are sure that couples planning their wedding will have found many suppliers to make their special day extra special. From Photographers to Fireworks, Beauticians to Bridal Wear, Catering to Chocolaterie, we had lots to offer!

There are photographs from this year’s show (and last year’s) available for viewing here on our photo gallery. These are courtesy of Brian Pancott and there are more available on his website.

So make a note in your diary for 18 April 2009 when The Parish of Swanmore is planning to host “The Hampshire Wedding Fair” again, but check back here regularly as we may have more exciting news for you!

(There were two sour notes to the day. A non-exhibiting company parked their van nearby and may have caused confusion to our visitors. For the avoidance of doubt, our delicious hog roast was provided by Go The Whole Hog of Botley.

The second was that a Waterlooville/Denmead based company fly posted visitors’ cars in the car park. Fortunately the fliers were spotted and removed almost immediately, but if any visitor feels their car has been damaged in any way, please contact us and we will be pleased to pass on the details. As for the company, judging by their flier, it isn’t anyone we would recommend or endorse)

Today’s the Day!
