THE annual St Leonard’s Hospice Fashion Show is being planned at the Gateway Centre in Acomb, York.

The show will be held at 7pm on Wednesday, April 15, when there will be the chance to pick up bargains and to win a Cath Kidston handbag and purse set.

The hospice’s eight clothes shops combine for the show, which brings together a wide range of fashions.

The Cath Kidston items have been donated to the hospice and will be among the prizes in the evening’s raffle. All the items in the show will be for sale at excellent prices, say organisers.

Volunteers who work in the shops will join a number of customers as models.

Sue Bonarius, manager of the hospice’s Tang Hall shop and the organiser of the fashion show, said: “It’s great that we have this very on-trend Cath Kidston bag as one of our raffle prizes – but even if you don’t win that, there are plenty of great clothes and accessories from our shops to tempt you to a new spring outfit or a summer special. Come along and see what’s on offer.”

Tickets cost £5 and include a welcome drink.

The tickets are on sale from all the St Leonard’s Hospice shops, from reception at the hospice in Tadcaster Road (office hours only) or by phoning the retail office on 01904 788777.
