🌈✨ THE OG ALTERNATIVE WEDDING FAIR

7+ years of turning wedding planning into a party… long before it was a trend 🎪

Think live music, street food, glitter, circus performers and zero judgement.

If the idea of a “traditional wedding fair” makes you want to run for the hills… you’ve just found your people 💜

Welcome to The Quirky Wedding Fayre (https://www.quirkyweddingfayre.co.uk/) Suffolk at the incredible Food Museum!

⚠️ PLEASE READ THIS (SUPER IMPORTANT!)

Our fayres often sell out in advance, so prebooking is the best way to guarantee your spot.

👉 No ticket = no guarantee of entry

👉 It takes 30 seconds to secure your place

Our events also rely on advance bookings to go ahead. If numbers are too low in the lead-up, we may have to cancel ahead of time.

👉 Even if lots of people are planning to come on the day, we have no way of knowing that without bookings.

💜 So if you’re thinking of coming, please grab your ticket now!
