Wedding season is creeping up fast, and if the word “planning” already has you reaching for a notebook (or a lie down), take a breath. Yes, weddings take time, energy and a fair bit of organisation – but they don’t have to be stressful. In fact, when you do it the right way, planning your big day can actually be really enjoyable.
One of the easiest ways to keep things fun is to step away from the screens and head somewhere you can see, hear and chat to real people. Wedding fayres are brilliant for exactly that. Instead of waiting days for replies or juggling dozens of enquiries, you get to meet the region’s best suppliers face to face, ask questions on the spot and leave with real ideas rather than more things on your to-do list.
And if you’re going to attend one fayre this year, The Big South Yorkshire Wedding Show should be right at the top of your list.
After a hugely successful event in early 2025, this popular show is returning to the OEC Sheffield on the 8th of March, 2026, for a full day dedicated to all things weddings. The venue itself is impressive, and the atmosphere on the day is always buzzing – it’s a good kind of busy, not the kind that leaves you feeling overwhelmed.
The OEC wedding team will be on hand throughout the event to offer guidance and answer questions, alongside more than 60 of South Yorkshire’s best-rated wedding suppliers. From venues and florists to stylists, entertainers and caterers, it’s a proper one-stop shop for couples at any stage of planning.
We’re delighted to say that Spitting Pig South Yorkshire will be there too. Our catering duo, Chris and Kayleigh, will be spending the day chatting with couples about all things food.
Whether you’re thinking about a relaxed wedding buffet featuring a statement hog roast, or catering for pre- and post-wedding events like engagement parties, welcome dinners or next-day lunches, Spitting Pig South Yorkshire is happy to help. If food is high on your priority list (and let’s be honest, it usually is), pop over and have a proper chat with us.
There’s plenty more to look forward to as well, including free drinks on arrival, gift bags, live music and not one but two catwalk shows. The event runs from 11am to 3pm, and tickets are available online from just 75p, or £4 on the door.
Clear your diary, bring your questions and come say hello – Spitting Pig South Yorkshire can’t wait to meet you.
