The Big Southwest Wedding Fair lands at the home of our sponsors, The Bath and West Showground, in Shepton Mallet on 18‑19 October 2025, giving engaged couples the chance to meet dozens of local suppliers in one place and lock down everything from dresses and suits to decorations, photography and more.

With 80 wedding professionals lined up, this will be more than just shopping: expect twice‑daily catwalk shows at 11am and 1.30pm, beautifully styled inspiration areas, an Entertainment Lounge for a breather and VIP tickets with extra perks.

Entry starts from £5, and there's free parking + an onsite restaurant to make the day easier.

If you're planning a wedding, or just love the idea of creating something beautiful, this fair promises ideas, style and fun all under one roof.
