Bluewater Wedding Fayre Sunday 21st January 2024

Additional information

Event Details

We are delighted to be hosting The PDE Wedding fayre at Bluewater on Sunday 21st January 2024, which has been given approval and will be going ahead after consultation with Bluewater and following the latest government guidelines.

We have been working hard to ensure we provide a safe environment for everyone attending, by ensuring you can keep distanced with the introduction of more spacious aisles and one-way systems, with enhanced hygiene cleaning regimes and sanitising facilities. A time slot will need to be chosen at the time of booking in order to keep within the recommended capacity for the venue.

We are confident that exhibitors and visitors will enjoy a safe, secure and enjoyable time at the Bluewater  wedding fayre. And we are delighted that we can go ahead with presenting a unique and valuable opportunity to meet with quality suppliers as you resume your wedding planning.

These are the procedures we have put in place for your own safety and comfort:

FAQs 

PROMOTIONAL LEAFLETS

• Goody bags will be available for you to take yourselves at the registration point; leaflets will be placed at the front of each exhibitor display so they can be taken with no handover.

WILL VISITORS NEED TO WEAR MASKS/VISORS?

• We will require visitors to wear masks at all times and this will be strictly enforced by our team and by the venue’s team. Face masks will be available for purchase on entry if required.

SYMPTOMATIC?

• If you have a cough, high temperature or other covid symptoms, you must not attend. Similarly, we will display notices for visitors instructing that they should not enter the building if they have any of these symptoms or have been in contact with someone with symptoms within the previous 14 days.

EVENT CAPACITY

• This will be a ticketed event with visitors choosing a time slot at the time of booking. Staff will click people in and out of the marquee so we know how many are inside at any one time. Those who have not pre-booked may be required to wait outside until capacity allows.

SOCIAL DISTANCING MEASURES?

• Each exhibitor stand will have a zoned area marked out in tape for one couple to meet with suppliers – visitors must wait in the aisle and can only approach this zone when it has been vacated. Exhibitors will remain behind their display table to create a comfortable barrier for distancing during your consultation.
• A one-way system will be in place throughout to allow a smooth flow of people.

WHAT IS THE CAPACITY YOU WILL ALLOW?

• This will be a ticketed event with visitors choosing a timeslot at the time of booking. Staff will click people in and out of the marquee so we know how many are inside at any one time. Those who have not pre-booked will be required to register outside on their own devices and wait until a slot is available to enter.

WHAT SANITISING PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE?

• Visitors will have sanitisers available on arrival and many exhibitors will have sanitiser on their table to allow visitors a dose before using an ipad or opening albums, we recommend you also bring your own for continued sanitisation throughout your visit.
• Exhibitors will use anti-bac wipes for cleaning ipads and albums after each use by clients. Also for wiping props if touched by visitors (although this practise is being discouraged)

SNACKS & REFRESHMENTS

• All snacks & refreshments are available in Bluewater with the various amounts of shops and restaurants.

TOILET FACILITIES

• Toilets are available in Bluewater in the village area. All toilets will be regularly cleaned & sanitised as per Bluewater guidelines.

COMMUNICATING COVID PROCEDURES TO VISITORS
