Wedding Dress Festival runs until Sunday
As part of a series of special events marking the bicentenary of St Mark’s Parish Church, Newtownards, members of its Mothers’ Union have been staging a Wedding Dress Festival.
Entitled ‘Marriage Memories’, the festival – currently being held in the church – features a range of over 50 wedding dresses from many eras, some of them from celebrities, others from parishioners and some from as far afield as India.
This fascinating display began on Thursday and runs until Sunday, June 18.
Today and tomorrow, exhibits will be on display from 10am until 8pm.
On Sunday the times are 2pm to 5pm, followed by a special service at which Lady Eames will speak (5.30pm).
The festival is open to all–comers, with the hosts stressing that everyone is welcome.
Cream teas (£5) are available in the Parish Centre halls, though group bookings for these must be made in advance.
