Couples planning their big day are invited to discover the wealth of wedding talent on their doorstep at the Andover Autumn Wedding Fair, taking place throughout the Chantry Centre on Sunday 4th October 2026, from 11am to 2pm.
Andover is home to a fantastic selection of independent businesses ready to help couples create a wedding that is as unique and personal as they are. From wedding gowns, jewellery and styling, celebrants, catering, cakes, wedding favours and much more, couples can find inspiration and expert advice right in the heart of the town.
The Wedding Fair will showcase local wedding businesses across three locations within the Chantry Centre (the former O2 unit, the Triangle and the Indoor Garden), creating an opportunity for visitors to meet suppliers, browse their products and services, ask questions and start bringing their wedding ideas to life.
Paula Grant of Wessex Spirits believes Andover has everything needed to make it a special wedding destination:
“Andover is centred around a classic high street with distinct Georgian charm, featuring well-preserved architecture characterised by elegant, symmetrical façades, sash windows and historic coaching inns. There are charming meeting places, food venues and beautiful countryside just on the edge of the town. Andover is also well located for friends and family to gather, with easy access to main road and rail routes.”
For Amy Mellor of David Mellor Family Jewellers, it is the personal service offered by Andover’s independent businesses that makes them particularly special for couples planning their wedding:
“The beauty of Andover is the abundance of independent businesses and the personal service they provide. In my opinion, you can’t get more personal than your wedding day, so to bring many independent wedding suppliers from within Andover together is a lovely reflection and insight into just how personal and special your big day can be.”
The event is also an opportunity to showcase the variety and quality of businesses in Andover town centre and encourage couples to discover what is available locally rather than looking further afield.
The Andover Autumn Wedding Fair is free to attend, with no booking required. Visitors can simply turn up, browse the stalls, meet the suppliers and gather ideas and inspiration for their special day.
Parking in Andover town centre is free all day on Sundays, making it easy for couples and their families to visit. Accessible toilets are available in the Chantry Centre multi-storey car park, with an accessible lift providing access to the Guildhall.
Whether you are newly engaged and just starting to plan, putting the finishing touches to your wedding, or organising another special celebration, the Andover Autumn Wedding Fair is the perfect opportunity to discover what local businesses have to offer.
