Couples planning larger, more lavish affairs for up to 100 friends and family can discover more about The Swan’s exclusive wedding package, where the entire hotel is reserved just for their party.

Six bedrooms and suites will be set aside to demonstrate the variety on offer at the hotel and Weavers’ House Spa will be open to view, where couples and their guests can enjoy the luxurious facilities and book a relaxing treatment before or after the big day.

The open day will take place between 11.30am and 3.30pm. Be welcomed with a glass of sparkling prosecco and relax in the bar or lounge after viewing the facilities with a sample selection of canapés.

The Swan’s wedding planners will be on hand throughout the day to discuss your plans and provide a goodie bag to take home with leaflets from suppliers, a sweet treat and information about the wedding packages.
