Sturminster Newton Wedding Festival

Sturminster Newton is holding a unique, town-based Wedding Festival and everyone is invited.
As well as a Wedding Fair featuring wedding specialists in the Stour Hall at The Exchange (10.a.m. To 2.00 p.m.) a stroll around town will reveal that our shops and businesses are providing wedding themed offers too.
An exhibition entitled “Wedding Attire Through The Ages” at The Exchange is a display of wedding dresses, photos and stories shared by local families.
Arrive early, and you will see a wide range of motor vehicles from the past at the monthly meeting of Car Enthusiasts in Station Road Car Park, and hopefully, dressed for this special day.
As a result of this exciting event a new Sturminster Newton Wedding Directory will be launched on the day. Make sure you pick up your copy!
