A little about us

The Something Old Something New Wedding Fayre is an annual event boasting a unique setting that combines our beautiful wedding venue, The Old Barn, with ample heated indoor exhibition space within The Milky Way. Outside the barn we also have space for cars and other vehicles to exhibit.

We’re located near Clovelly, just a few miles from the Cornish border, so we attract couples from North Cornwall as well as Devon. What’s more, because we aren’t ‘just around the corner’, you can be sure that our brides are serious!

You can expect to meet lots of brides who have booked their wedding with us at The Old Barn, as well as brides who are viewing the barn on the day to see if it’s the venue for them. The Old Barn is a DIY venue with the added bonus of a private dodgems session – this means that our brides are looking for caterers and something ‘a bit different’, in addition to photographers, florists, cakes and the like!

To make sure the day is worthwhile for everyone involved we limit the number of suppliers in each category.

As always, our 2024 fayre was a great success attracting over 200 brides and grooms as well as lots of happy exhibitors …

Promotion

  • The fayre will be promoted using organic posts and paid adverts via our various social media channels.
  • Event information will be included on both our oldbarndwedding.co.uk website and themilkyway.co.uk website
  • From late November our oldbarnwedding.co.uk site will include a full listing of exhibitors with links to websites or facebook pages.
  • Dates and information have already been added to various bridal websites with wedding fayre listings.
  • Banners will be used to raise visibility in the local area in the run up to the event.
  • One of the reasons we believe our fayre is so successful year on year, is that our exhibitors help to promote it via their own social media channels. After all, if everyone attending promotes the fayre, everyone stands to benefit! We’ll make sure to tag everyone in our posts but please do like and share to help spread the word.
