After the roaring success of our first fair and the collab with Leeds Tattoo Expo we hosted our 2nd full fair November 24th 2024 back at Project House Leeds. We had even MORE incredible alternative suppliers join us this time along with more epic performances, cute pups and even food trucks!

We started again with our quiet hour between 11-12pm allowing neurodivergent and disabled attendees or just those who prefer a quieter, less over stimulating experience of the wedding fair. No live music, no performances and reduced numbers through the door. This is something we are very passionate about and also offer ear plugs, masks and fidget toys for those who need them.

A layout of lots of goodies included in the RIP bag for the wedding fair bag. Theres a tote bag, sippy cup, tea bags, cookies and lots of stickers, flyers and many other things — RIP BAGS!

Trans Leeds, a charity which supports trans, non binary and gender expansive individuals in and around Leeds, joined us again to chat to attendees. They also ran a raffle to raise money for the charity with prizes from our wonderful suppliers which raised £220!

We also had performances going on through the day from Calum Whelan Music, Sam Jayne Sings, Rave The Date and our fire performer Billie Babydoll was back outside entertaining the attendees in the queue. Our models were back too walking around in our supplier's outfits so you could see what they looked like on!

Your feedback was even better than last time and you could see the work we'd put in to improve any areas of the fair that needed slight adjustments to be the best it could be!

"I had such a great day at Alt Wedding Fair! The atmosphere was friendly, inclusive, welcoming and FUN. I came away feeling inspired and found some wonderful suppliers for our day."

People in a vibrant wedding fair discuss by a table with books and art. Warm lighting, string lights hang overhead. Casual and lively atmosphere.

"We were nervous to start going to wedding fairs as an LGBTQ+ couple we are anxious of facing stigma throughout the planning process. However everyone we met was so lovely & welcoming we just had a blast talking to people about our big day. This has kicked off our wedding planning process & we don’t think we could have possibly had a better experience anywhere else! Thank you so much ❤️"

"I was initially a little anxious to attend as I do struggle with social anxiety, but I had a fantastic time on the day and was great speaking to so many lovely people. Fantastic atmosphere and use of the venue, and left with so much inspiration and useful information"

If you're looking for our next wedding fair, you can buy tickets here! Or if you wanna check out suppliers from the comfort of your own home we have our Alternative Wedding Directory full of wicked suppliers ready to chat weddings.

While comparing different UK gaming clubs, I’ve started to pay more attention to how people describe their long sessions rather than quick wins or flashy features. One post I read recently went into detail about interface balance—things like contrast, spacing, and whether the design stays comfortable after extended play. It didn’t push any platform as “the best,” which made it more convincing. tenobet came up naturally in that thread, almost in passing, as one of several platforms tested over time. That understated mention added credibility rather than distraction, which I found surprisingly useful.

This was a very thoughtful and well-written piece that offered a refreshing perspective on learning and self-reflection. I really liked how the author turned small daily observations into deeper insights that are relevant for students as well. It reminds us that learning goes beyond textbooks and lectures. As someone studying business, I often explore blogs like this during study breaks. When academic pressure increases, many learners also search for Help with business assignments to manage their workload more effectively. Content like this creates a perfect balance between relaxation and gaining useful knowledge.

This was a very enjoyable post to read. The calm and reflective tone made it easy to connect with the ideas being shared. I appreciate how the author focused on the importance of noticing small details in everyday life. As a student working on design-related subjects, I sometimes look for AutoCAD Assignment Help to improve my understanding of technical drawings. Reading blogs like this gives a refreshing break from academic pressure while also inspiring creative thinking. Content like this is both relaxing and motivating for learners.
