Turn your dream day into reality at local wedding fayre this May
By James Smith 28th Apr 2026
Couples looking to "turn their dream day into reality" are invited to the Spring Wedding Fayre at a stunning wedding venue just outside Ashby next month.
Having opened its new season in April, The Glade at Rosliston is preparing to welcome couples to its major event on May 17 hosted by Little Rain Events.
Set in the heart of the National Forest, the Spring Wedding Fayre will offer guests the chance to meet over 25 "exceptional" local wedding suppliers ready to make their special day even more special.
The free event will feature DJs, cake makers, florists and more - all from Derbyshire and the surrounding areas. Guests will also be treated to their own goodie bag.
And for those yet to choose their own venue, the day will give couples the perfect chance to explore The Glade and its "truly different offering" in the "beauty of the outdoors".
Set within a secluded forest clearing, the venue specialises in "breath-taking outdoor weddings" surrounded by trees, birdsong and open skies - a natural backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons.
One of The Glade's biggest draws is the freedom it gives couples to create a day that feels relaxed, personal and unforgettable. Ceremonies can take place beneath the beautiful Oak Gazebo.

This is followed by drinks receptions in the fresh air where guests can enjoy lawn games and giant outdoor classics that bring all ages together.
From oversized garden games to relaxed social spaces, it's a setting made for proper belly laughs, happy tears and those lovely little moments guests talk about long after the day is over.
And for those wanting a true show-stopping moment? The Glade is known for its extraordinary owl ring deliveries, where majestic birds of prey glide through the trees to present the wedding rings, a moment that never fails to leave guests in awe.
As the celebrations continue, the expansive outdoor space also allows for dancing under the open sky, creating a festival style atmosphere that feels both romantic and joyfully free spirited.
With its stunning marquee, licensed ceremony options, generous outdoor space and exclusive hire, The Glade combines rustic charm with professional expertise, ensuring couples can enjoy the magic of a woodland wedding without compromising on comfort.
Ahead of the Spring Wedding Fayre, organisers said: "We are so excited to bring together some of the best wedding suppliers all in one place.
