Wedding Boot Fair FAQs
What time can buyers arrive?
Buyers can arrive from 11:00am and the event closes at 3:00pm. VIP brides2b tickets allow early access from 10:30am.
What can you sell?
Brides are invited to sell pre-loved & nearly new wedding items; from wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, favours, sweet carts, mother of the bride, jewellery, chair covers, bunting, table decorations, accessories and much, much more. You have a space of 6ft in length by approx 2-2.5ft in width, plus enough space to sit behind (only 2 people behind each stand allowed).
We offer spaces for wedding businesses & services to promote and sell. Brides2b like to see a variety of stalls, but also appreciate seeing a few of the same type for comparisons. With this in mind, we cannot offer exclusivity to any stallholders, however we also like to keep duplicate stalls to a minimum in order to promote fairness to all businesses.
We reserve the right to cancel and refund your booking if you have not followed the correct procedures prior to booking. Please fill in the pre-booking enquiry form on this page, or email hantsevents@yahoo.co.uk to request a stall and give a description and photo of your business or service.
