Ireland's First Green Wedding Fair

Held at Castle Espie Wetland Centre outside Comber in Co. Down, the event will offer up planet-conscious alternatives from vintage and new dresses through to locally-sourced flowers and ethical favours. Importantly it will illustrate how luxury doesn't have to come at a cost either financially or environmentally, which is particularly poignant given climate change and the current economic situation.

Castle Espie holds a license for wedding ceremonies and is offering a complimentary wedding ceremony at the centre as part of an overall prize for one lucky bride-to-be.
The unique wedding package promotion to complement the fair will include a new dress from Oxfam Ireland's Bangor-based bridal loft , a local short break courtesy of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, free venue hire at Ballydugan Mill for up to 70 people (between Monday and Thursday) plus a free bridal suite for the bride and groom and a £100 voucher redeemable from Re:Store retail outlets. Completing the package, other exhibitors are donating products and services to include an organic wedding cake, a hand-made tiara, locally-sourced flowers and designer hemp and silk bloomers. The draw will take place at the event.

Although access to the wedding fair, shop and restaurant is free, normal admission applies to the wetlands.
Castle Espie opening hours are Monday to Friday 10.30am to 5.00pm; Saturday and Sunday 11.00am to 5.00pm.
