After the success of our first fair, we had a really cool opportunity last year to team up with Leeds Tattoo Expo at The First Direct Arena to host a pop up wedding fair with a small selection of cool af alternative suppliers. This happened over 2 days and the event had over 3000 attendees!

Tattoos on a leg featuring a skull with a flower, a caricature with a mustache, and text "THE ALT WEDDING FAIR" in a colorful design.

The Leeds Tattoo Expo is an excellent event that hosts over 100 tattoo artists from around the world along with quirky traders selling their cool stuff! We had A LOT of fun meeting couples who had come along to get some body art and plan their wedding on the same day!

Not only did we have a brilliant selection of businesses to chat to about planning elder emo dream wedding, we had performances from Lily Kerbey Music and Sam Prowse Music at the entrance.

Three people smiling, holding an orange tiger rug. Background has signage, "Banking on another level," and "SHOOT DAGGERS." Bright setting.

Billie Babydoll was there too to entertain those in the queue with her fire skills. Our resident chaos goblin Rosie Roberts even got a tattoo of the Alt Wedding Fair logo!

Shooting Daggers also hosted a competition over the weekend to win this incredible tiger rug! The guy who won was so excited it brought a huge smile to our faces.

A huge thanks to our amazing volunteers and helpers who made this event possible, we are forever grateful to our friends and family who give their time to help us put on these events.

Great post. Everything is presented clearly without oversimplifying the subject. This is one of those articles that keeps your attention because the information is presented so well. There is a noticeable difference between content written for people and content written just to fill a page, and this clearly belongs in the first category. One of the resources that gave me a similar impression was https://infowomenspace.com/, mainly because of its practical and easy-to-follow content. I appreciate when content creators focus on practical advice instead of trying to sound overly technical. Articles like this are becoming harder to find these days. Looking forward to more articles like this.
