For more information about our PRE-LOVED events, keep an eye on this page as we will announce the date and venue in the coming weeks, or feel free to contact us. During these events, we will also be supporting the North West Air Ambulance, who perform incredible work in our area, saving lives.

North West Air Ambulance relies entirely on the incredible donations from its supporters; whatever you can contribute truly makes a difference.

 

Case Study

One of the many lives changed by NWAA’s work is that of 13-year-old Hannah from Lancashire. In 2023, while out riding her bike with her sister Kate, Hannah sustained a devastating injury when she skidded, came off her bike and punctured her femoral vein, missing her artery by a hairline.

NWAA’s expert team of critical care paramedics arrived quickly, stabilising her and airlifting her to Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, where emergency surgery was needed.

Thanks to the swift intervention of NWAA, Hannah was airlifted to hospital which took 13 minutes, a journey that would have taken over an hour by road.

VIRTUAL Wedding Fair COMNG SOON

 

🌟 EXCITING NEWS! 🌟

We’re about to shake up the wedding industry with something brand new and totally innovative! 🚀

Working alongside the fantastic 0730 Media and Joe Hague Photography, we are thrilled to introduce… The Virtual Wedding Fayre! 💻✨

Imagine this: It’s a cold, dreary Sunday, but you’re in the middle of planning your dream wedding. Instead of bundling up to visit multiple fayres, why not stay cozy at home and let the wedding experts come to YOU? 😍

With a platform like Microsoft Teams, you’ll be able to meet our incredible suppliers face-to-face (virtually!), ask questions, and get inspired—all from the comfort of your sofa! 🏡💍

💡 Are you a supplier? Join us for FREE at our first event to see how it all works! Going forward, there will be a small participation fee—but far less than the cost of a physical fayre.

📩 Want to be involved? Whether you’re a supplier looking to connect with engaged couples or a bride/groom ready to plan your big day, drop us a message!

Let's make wedding planning easier, more accessible, and totally stress-free! 💕✨

Testimonials

See what people are saying

A great day out.

We've recently got engaged and this was our first wedding fayre at the Dunkenhalgh on Sunday. As soon as we arrived I saw the wedding cars parked outside and got goosebumps. It was so exciting. We were greeted by Ellie from the Dunkenhalgh who took us to meet Sarah from fairy dust events and get us registered. Sarah was lovely and welcoming, she gave us an overview of where to go, and we got a wedding magazine and a goodie bag on arrival, along with a passport to ask each vendor to sign to say we'd visited them, this then entered us into a draw to win a night stay at the venue with dinner, bed and breakfast. I thought this was a great idea for both vendors and guests as it encourages you to see everyone and make the most out of the event. We were given a glass of prosecco (water and juice was also available) and proceeded to explore the fayre. There were also little canapés to sample too. Unfortunately for the vendors it was surprisingly quiet with regards to visitors that day, however that meant they all had a lot more time to talk to us. Most of the vendors went out of their way to chat to us, and give us advice on other aspects of the wedding rather than just what they're selling. I found this really useful and helpful. It gave me other things to think about and also helped get a good relationship with the vendors. I've certainly been inspired by some and may well be booking some, I just need to get a venue and date booked first. Sarah had a travel stand for honeymoons and overseas weddings and the venue had a stand, then there were 18 other vendors covering different aspects of the wedding, 3 photographers, 1 videographer, 2 artificial florists, 2 makeup artists, 2 table dressers, 1 kiddies entertainment, 1 celebrant, 2 cars, 1 flower wall, 1 dj, 1 bridal dresses, 1 with toiletries. Everyone was really supportive and engaging and we had lots of fun on the day. We can't wait to visit more wedding fayres. Sarah put on a really good wedding fayre. And the cherry on top.... we won the draw and the overnight stay! 😁

If you’re a wedding vendor then working…

If you’re a wedding vendor then working with Sarah and the team are a must.

The work they do before the day is relentless, on the day they tirelessly ensure you’re looked after, and communication after the day too is just fantastic.

We always support Fairydust’s wedding fayres, as they are so well organised, and you also receive a list of attendees after the event.

HOME LIFE

 A little about me personally—I’m originally from Liverpool but have lived in Preston for 30 years. I’ve been with my rock & soulmate, Ian Williams, since 1993, and we have a beautiful daughter, Lisa (28), and the most adorable grandson, Leo (4)—plus our beloved dog, Sandy 🐾.
Family is everything to me, and while the past year has been tough with my mum’s declining health, I’m still here, doing what I love—for my suppliers, for my couples, and for YOU. 💖

get to know fairydust events

 
👋 I’m Sarah, and I’ve been running events since 2015. It all started with Psychic Nights, Ladies’ Nights, and Family Fun Days, raising money for local causes and creating some truly magical memories. (By the way—Psychic Nights are making a comeback! 🔮✨)
 
But my journey into the wedding world actually came from my background in travel—I’ve worked in the industry since 2003, helping couples plan their dream honeymoons. In 2019, I decided to take the leap and host my first wedding fayre at Best Western Leyland—and it was a HUGE success! 🎉
My goal was (and still is!) to make wedding fayres accessible to ALL—so rather than charging exhibitors £100+, I kept it at £60, ensuring funds went into advertising to bring in the couples. My income? From any honeymoon bookings I secured!
 
Fast forward, we gained regular contracts with hotels, expanded across the North West & Cheshire, and built incredible relationships. Of course, COVID hit hard, and when venues were repurposed for asylum seekers, we lost contracts overnight. But we adapted, grew, and kept going—always staying true to our mission of making fairs affordable, welcoming, and rewarding for both exhibitors and couples. 💕
