The Oaklands is one of our favourite #Yorkshire wedding venues. So, ahead of it wedding fair this Sunday, we thought we'd shine a light on this fabulous setting.

Set in 200 acres of woodland in the heart of rural East Yorkshire, this venue offers the perfect unique wedding fair location. This enchanting setting is also situated next to a nature reserve and boasts manicured lawns, grass glades, lakes, and a mix of wonderful wildlife, making it one of the most picturesque wedding venues in the area.
