A WEDDING venue in Witney brought 19 small businesses together to exhibit at its first wedding open day.

Cogges Manor Farm in Church Lane hosted the event on Sunday, with suppliers offering visiting couples an opportunity to sample their products and find inspiration for their own DIY weddings.

Cogges director Colin Shone said: “We’re delighted with the response from the local business community to support Cogges through our first wedding open day.

“All these fantastic local suppliers have given their time and materials for free to make the barns looks as beautiful as they can be for couples wishing to get married here.

“We hope that many more people will be inspired to share their special day with us.”

Suppliers there on the day included Lark Rise Flowers, Paper Tree Design, Abigail's Kitchen, Wates & Co Delicatessen, Firkin Mobile Bars, Mag's and Tim's Ice Cream Trike, and Box Cottage Photography & Videography.

Cogges Manor Farm is a heritage centre operated by a charitable trust. The building was used as the location for Yew Tree Farm in popular BBC drama, Downton Abbey.
