The National Wedding Fayre was first held at Coventry Building Society Arena in 2013 and has more than doubled in size since its debut.

Event organiser Wayne Littlewood, from Coventry, is the mastermind behind the show and also runs a series of smaller shows around Warwickshire and the West Midlands throughout the year.

He says that attendances at the smaller shows have hit record levels and that couples are actually looking to spend more now on weddings than before the pandemic.

“Our smaller shows have been a huge success in recent months and we have actually seen attendance numbers more than double our normal level,” said Wayne Littlewood.

“There has definitely been a change in spending patterns too, and we are actually seeing that budgets have increased. This means we are seeing couples looking for more extravagant things for their special day, be that a horse and cart, a dove release or really pushing the boundaries on their venue.

“For our industry, the National Wedding Fayre will be a great opportunity to bring  together everyone and everything to ensure a successful wedding day.

“To be back at Coventry Building Society Arena is fantastic for us. It’s a venue we are proud to call home and one we hope to continue to expand our show over the coming years.”

Paul Michael, Commercial Director at Coventry Building Society Arena, added: “The Arena has been with the show all the way over the last nine years as it has expanded and we are pleased that the National Wedding Fayre will be back with us in 2023.

“Our flexible, state-of-the-art facilities and ideal location makes Coventry Building Society Arena the ideal venue for this kind of show and we have developed expertise in delivering shows of this type – with great results for organisers, exhibitors and visitors.”
