Charity Fashion and Fizz takes place at the Beacon Centre, Wolverhampton Road, on Tuesday 25 February. Doors open at 6pm and the fashion show, featuring over a dozen models, starts at 6.30pm.

Tickets, which must be booked in advance, are available at Beacon Centre for the Blind and cost £15, including a glass of prosecco or alcohol free alternative on arrival. Clothing will be on sale on the night.

All proceeds will go to the Mayor’s chosen charities, the Beacon Centre, Age UK Wolverhampton and Samaritans Wolverhampton.

Mayor Councillor Leach said: “Join us for an unforgettable evening of style, fun and community as we come together to support good causes that truly make a difference.

“This Charity Fashion and Fizz show is more than just a runway – it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact. For only £15, you’ll experience a great charity fashion show using sustainable clothes from the Beacon’s amazing network of charity shops.
