\n Since the first Philips Park wedding, Joanne has decided to encourage more people to use the space to exchange their vows, and has invited 15 traders, including a hairdresser, make-up artist, table decorators and a honeymoon provider, to set up stalls at the barn in an event on Sunday, April 7 from\u00a011am to 3pm.\n<\/p>\n
