Fabulous fashion and fantastic fundraising

15 November 2025

Our sixth Fashion Show was a night to remember, bringing together glamour, generosity and community spirit.

Held once again at The Lock on Castle Street in Stalybridge, the stylish venue welcomed over 140 people last Friday (7th November).

The evening sparkled from start to finish, raising a fantastic £4,000 in support of patient care at the Hospice.

Guests enjoyed a glass of fizz on arrival before settling in to watch the runway show, featuring our fabulous volunteer models showcasing winter collections.

After the show, the downstairs was transformed into a boutique-style pop-up shop, full of stylish clothes, shoes and accessories – all at a fraction of retail prices.

There was hot and cold food, plus a wide range of drinks from the bar, to keep everyone refreshed throughout the evening.

Guests could also enter a raffle, with some fantastic prizes on offer.

Pauline Lunt, Head of Retail at Willow Wood Hospice, said: “We’re so grateful to everyone who came along and made it another fantastic night.

“A huge thank you goes to Wendy and all of the team at The Lock for their incredible support and kind donation; to the students from Tameside College for all of their help; to our wonderful models; and to our amazing retail teams whom we couldn’t do it without.

“Our six Fashion Shows combined have raised £20,000, which has really made a difference to patients with a life-limiting illness in our care.”

Our Fashion Show will return next year – keep your eyes peeled for more details!
