Fermain Valley Hotel steps in to host wedding fayre

A ST PETER PORT hotel has stepped forward to host a wedding fayre for disappointed exhibitors.

The Fermain Valley Hotel is planning to hold the event in April for those traders who were due to promote their services at Guernsey Wedding's cancelled fayre, which was meant to take place on Sunday.

A total of 34 exhibitors had booked stalls at the St James' event but organiser Julie Jones decided to cancel after it emerged six stalls would not qualify for a Sunday trading licence because St James did not hold its own category G licence.

Fermain Valley events coordinator April Milnes said she had contacted Mrs Jones who had passed on details of the new event to the stallholders.

She said the hotel would not be able to accommodate as many as the St James' event but they could potentially host most of them, depending on demand.
