GATHER isn’t a traditional wedding or events fair. It’s a platform for rethinking how we approach celebrations. From intimate weddings to large-scale events, the showcase will highlight fresh perspectives on how to create impactful, personalised gatherings. 

Expect hands-on workshops, product demos, and a curated selection of Kent’s finest suppliers who specialise in locally-made and sustainable offerings.

Whether looking for ideas for a wedding, corporate event, or milestone celebration, GATHER will spark new ideas for creating meaningful and memorable gatherings.

The Maker’s Circle
An interactive space for suppliers to engage directly with attendees through hands-on demonstrations and workshops. Attendees can take part in activities like scent-making, candle decorating, embroidery sessions, and styling demonstrations, encouraging engagement and collaboration.

Do Me a Favour
A display of locally-made gifts and treats ideal for wedding favours, event keepsakes, or personal touches. Guests can sample, purchase, and discover unique products from Kent-based artisans.

Coastal Venue Trail
GATHER introduces the first-ever Coastal Venue Trail. A curated journey where attendees will explore spaces ideal for receptions, after-parties, and licensed wedding ceremonies. The trail encourages visitors to spend the weekend exploring these venues and the Kent coastline, discovering unique event spaces and inspiring new possibilities.

A full map of participating venues and the event programme will be available online.

As part of Turner Contemporary’s commitment to sustainability, GATHER supports eco-conscious practices. We encourage all exhibitors to adopt sustainable methods and the event highlights local businesses dedicated to creating environmentally conscious and eco-friendly products.
