Speaking at the launch Siobhan McKeown, Marketing Manager at The OUTLET said, "We are delighted to host our first ever Wedding Fayre next month. Weddings create such anticipation, not just for the bride but for all the wedding guests and we want to generate that exciting feeling on site. Our Wedding Fayre on 2nd May will take place just after the Royal Wedding, perfect to keep the wedding momentum flowing ahead of the busy summer season.

"The OUTLET has a host of stores to cater for weddings, whether you are walking down the aisle or simply attending as a guest. From great fashion and accessories to fantastic homeware gifts and luggage for the Honeymoon, all at great value, we have it all. We are excited to welcome local wedding themed companies to The OUTLET to enhance our event and offer even more choice to our customers."

Newry-based Five FM will also broadcast a radio roadshow live from the event at The OUTLET. Shops will open from 10am with the Wedding Fayre beginning from 11am on Monday 2nd May. As always parking is free and Euro is widely accepted in all stores.
