Couple's wedding cancelled as luxury hotel in rural Wales taken over by Home Office for asylum seekers

A couple's wedding plans are in disarray because the luxury Welsh hotel where they were supposed to be getting married is now housing asylum seekers. Simon Pritchard and Lucy Campbell say they were told via Zoom that they would have to find an alternative venue.

They booked the rural Snowdonia hotel for their December 10 wedding more than a year ago, but now have a week to find somewhere else to get married.

Lucy, 28, told NorthWalesLive : “When we were told the venue was being cancelled, we were both completely gobsmacked. We woke the next morning hoping it was just a bad dream. We’re still a bit shocked. We’d been counting down the days for the wedding to happen. When they told us, we just couldn’t believe it, especially the reason they gave us.”
