What we do

Creating beautiful things. That's what we love. Whether it be planning gorgeous weddings, designing handmade decor, or growing a family - these are the things we know, and we want to share that with you through our events.

Wedding Fairs

Every couple's wedding journey is unique. Whether you dream of a grand ballroom or an intimate garden gathering, planning starts with inspiration. At our wedding fairs, you can plan a wedding that feels right for YOU. Discover ideas, suppliers, and inspiration to make your day truly yours.

Makers Markets

If you're a craft lover at heart then this one is for you. We welcome small businesses to showcase their beautiful hand-crafted products. Perfect if you're decorating the nest, shopping for the perfect gift, or really keen to get your hands on some of those homemade brownies you've heard so much about!

Baby Shows & Nearly-New Markets

One for the whole family. Come and shine the spotlight on your little ones while getting to know some of our favourite local businesses at our baby events. Or why not treat your munchkin to some beautiful pre-loved items at one of our nearly-new sales.
