These have been highly successful well attended events in the past, attracting really high quality suppliers, many of whom we have dealt with for years.

I now have a list of suppliers that will be exhibiting, please see our website for details.

Part of the restaurant will be set up as for a wedding. This will give you a chance to see for yourelves how it will look and may give you some ideas on flowers, colour etc. for your wedding. Please note the chandeliers have been replaced with spot mood lighting.

It will also give you a chance to have a look at the bedrooms, which are all very different, as well as the rest of the hotel and lovely grounds. This one is the lovely Woolstone room. All our rooms are named after Oxfordshire villages.

James Channon, the Fallowfields Falconer will be displaying some of his raptors [falcons hawks and owls] . It will be a good opportunity to chat with him and maybe help you to decide if you would like a display at your wedding.

Sarah from ‘Ribbons and Bows’ will be exhibiting chair covers she has tailor made to fit our chairs, and will also have a selection of coloured sashes for you to see.

This along with Bridal Wear, Florists, Photographers, Hair & Make-up, Stationary, Cakes, Jewellery, Wedding Cars, should give you plenty of information as well as being an enjoyable day.
The Bar and afternoon Tea will be available for those that may feel the need for some sustenance!

Please email me now lynn@fallowfields.com if you would like any other information regarding the Wedding Fayre, suppliers or enquiries about having Fallowfields as a possible venue for your wedding. 

Car parking is an often forgotten and yet very important part of your day. The last thing you want is your guests to be arriving having been frustrated by the venue's car parking arrangements. So we took a long hard look and decided we could usefully improve access from the car park to the hotel, particularly for ladies in high heels.

Embarking as we are on our best weddng seasons ever as one of Oxfordshire's leading country house hotel wedding venues, we decide that March was the right time. We planned to quickly install a path and some lighting across the car park. This is the view now  of the car park restored, toward the hotel. 

On the 22nd March we dug a trench across the car park in which to lay cables. To our horror we discovered a natural spring flowing underground right down the line of our trench. not being "groundwater" experts, frantic consultations with local "experts" established the need for a drainage pipe to take the water flow some 50 metres to the duck pond.

What we thought would be a day or twos work, turns out to be a 7 day job using more heavy equipment than a major alteration to a motorway junction. Any way today is pretty much the last day and we can spread the pea shingle to make the car park look less like a dirt bikers hill track and more like the cared for area it previously was.

Rest assured as the light fades, we are now  back to normal. When you have your wedding here, the  already good parking facilities will have taken another step forward.
