Gather is not your typical wedding fair.

A thoughtfully curated weekend celebrating Kent’s most creative wedding suppliers, set within the inspiring spaces of Turner Contemporary.

Gather brings together a handpicked selection of the county’s most exciting wedding creatives—from photographers and florists to cake designers, stylists and makers. The focus is on relaxed, meaningful conversations and experience-led discovery rather than busy aisles or sales pitches.

What to expect

  • A welcome cocktail on arrival (included with advance tickets)
  • Time for genuine, one-to-one conversations with suppliers
  • Optional pre-bookable sessions across the weekend offer the chance to get personalising, including:
    – Scent creation
    – Candle decorating
    – Foil placecard embossing

For those curious about what a wedding at Turner Contemporary might feel like, venue tours and wine tastings can also be pre-booked throughout the weekend

Pre-bookable sessions can be selected when reserving your free ticket at checkout.

Whether you’re gathering early ideas or refining the finishing touches, Gather offers a welcoming, unhurried space to explore, connect and be inspired.
