A WEDDING fayre with a twist is taking place in Saltcoats this weekend.

On Saturday, March 16, the town will play host to a 'pre-loved' bridal fayre - giving couples the chance to pick up some bargains in the hope of reducing the often eye-watering cost of tying the knot.

From 2pm until 6pm a number of businesses will be at The Training Station - the building next to the Saltcoats railway station ticket office - all set for a day of "wedding madness".

Organised by local firm The Bridal Shower, there will be a number of pre-loved occasion garments on display, showing how the industry can be more affordable, sustainable and ethical.

Around a dozen suppliers of all things wedding will be at the event and they are all ready to let you know how they can make your big day extra special.
