A HISTORIC country house near Bewdley will be hosting its first wedding fair next weekend.

The Grade I listed Kinlet Hall will hold the event at the venue on Sunday, April 29 from 11am to 3pm.

The impressive house, which was built in 1729 and up until recently was an independent boarding school, has become a wedding venue and prospective brides and grooms will be able to meet and discuss their plans with a range of experts on food, flowers and fashions.

They will also be greeted with a glass of bubbly on arrival.

The Church of St John the Baptist, nestling in the grounds of Kinlet Hall, will also be open for visits in the afternoon.
