“It’s fantastic to see the funds raised going towards such a worthy appeal! A huge thank you from me to everyone that got involved.”

The event saw local businesses Herd and Hive, Peonies of CrossHills and more set up stalls for some light shopping before the evenings models took to the runway.

Community Fundraiser Laura Hepworth said:

“It has been fantastic to see the success of this years event following on from the first one last year. Together we have raised over fantastic £700 for the Emergency Department Appeal.
