Age UK Lincoln is hosting its fourth biannual fashion show on Wednesday 1^st October where guests can purchase brand new clothes from high street retailers at a fraction of the price.

Generous outlets including Next, New Look, Wallis and Marks & Spencer have provided out-of-season stock to be sold at the event between 7pm and 9.30pm to raise money for the charity. Sizes range between 8 and 24 and prices start at as little as £1.99 up to £24

Models will line up at the Priory Centre in St Catherine’s, Lincoln, to showcase a selection of clothing for sale that guests will have the chance to purchase after a catwalk show.

Age UK Lincoln’s Marketing and Fundraising Manager, Georgina Garrett, said: “We are really excited to be hosting this event again. It is always very popular and at our spring event we raised over £500 for Age UK Lincoln. Not only is it a great opportunity to get together with friends and colleagues and revamp your wardrobe, it is for a great cause too.

“Tickets cost £4 with refreshments provided and can be purchased by calling 01522 696000 or by visiting Age UK’s Park Street centre. Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.”

The charity’s Park Street Activity Centre offers a wide range of services for older people, including friendship clubs, classes, a subsidised restaurant and a hairdresser. There is also an IT suite, a café and an information and advice service.
