New Forest Wedding Open Weekend

Saturday 28th February & Sunday 1st March | 10am – 4pm

Planning your wedding and searching for the perfect venue? Join us for the New Forest Wedding Open Weekend, where nine of the area’s most loved wedding hotels will be opening their doors to welcome engaged couples for two days of inspiration.

Across Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March, you’re invited to explore beautiful ceremony spaces, discover reception rooms, and get a feel for what your wedding day could look like in the New Forest - from relaxed celebrations to full weekend weddings with family and friends.

Whether you’re at the very start of planning, or narrowing down your shortlist, this is a brilliant opportunity to visit multiple venues in one weekend and ask questions in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.

Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa

What to expect

Each participating hotel will be opening their doors across the weekend, offering the chance to:

• Tour ceremony and reception spaces

• See styled set-ups and wedding-ready details

• Explore bedrooms and suites (where available)

• Meet friendly wedding teams and ask questions

• Learn more about wedding packages, dining options and guest accommodation

• Picture how your day could flow — from arrival drinks to the last dance

Some venues may also feature a small selection of trusted local wedding suppliers, helping you gather ideas for everything from flowers and styling to photography.
