All the latest from around the North West A BLANK CANVAS Ponderosa Weddings is a new family-run business situated between Broughton and Broughton Moor in Cumbria. The owner, Beth Faulder, tells us more: “We offer a 300-acre farm which started up during the pandemic when I had time to start a new venture alongside my photography business. Ponderosa is perfect for holding tipis, marquees, and tents and overlooks the Lake District with a stunning pond and woodland, ideal for taking those all-important photographs. I wanted to hire out this beautiful piece of land and diversify into weddings as we feel it’s the perfect place to celebrate your big day. We’re planning to host 10 to 15 weddings a year and have just got our premises licence.” Visit www.ponderosaweddingscumbria.com for more information.

Cumbria’s Premier Wedding Show is back with a showstopping Diversity Show taking place on Sunday 26th February, 2023. It’s the perfect place to get inspiration for your big day with a range of wonderful suppliers, stunning catwalk shows running throughout the day, experts on hand to provide their advice and inspiration at every turn. Couple will receive a goody bag on arrival and complimentary copies of Your North West Wedding will be available. “The wedding and event industry has suffered huge financial losses in previous years and the shows have certainly brought new business, opened the doors for many exhibitors and the feedback has been overwhelming and we anticipate this show will be even better,” says the organisers. “The intention of our Diversity Show is to reflect the variety of modern couples and the lack of representation in the industry for nationality, race, religion, disability, clothing size or LGBT, and we want all exhibitors and visitors to feel welcome. We are also delighted to announce VL Aesthetics is joining us as the show’s main sponsor.” The show will be taking place from 11am to 4pm at Carlisle Racecourse.
