On Wednesday 1st April we held a fantastic Fundraising Fashion Show at the Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall. The Jubilee Hall has been in Aldeburgh almost as long as we have - they were established in 1887 just after O&C Butcher started trading in 1884! The hall is a charity and a brilliant venue for the town and we are delighted to say that the event raised £4,700 for the hall.

Over 200 people came to see local 'celebrities' take to the catwalk showing off the latest collections from O&C Butcher and Fleur. The models were local business owners, shop workers, friends and customers of the shop - including the Mayor! - and were all great sports. We are very grateful to them for giving up their time and for making the evening so much fun - and looking so fabulous of course!

Guests were welcomed with a free G&T supplied by Fisher's Gin and we ended the evening with complimentary canapes from The Suffolk. There was a huge sense of community and the town was still buzzing the next day. We've included a few photos below but there are lots more on our social media accounts if you'd like to follow us @ocbutcher on instagram or Facebook.

Special thanks also goes to the following volunteers who helped make our models look so gorgeous:

• Stylists: Claire Kelly-Forrest, Ria Pilkington, Clare McWhirter, Robert Bush
• Hair and Make-up: Clare Borrett (@clarabo_uk), Carys Jenkins (Asteria Wellbeing) and Natalie Hullett
• Catwalk photography: Lexi Grimwood

Huge thanks to the excellent team at Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall - Emily Mummery, Emma Lloyd and Devi Singh for making the event run so smoothly - and to all their fantastic volunteer ushers.

Thanks to the following businesses for providing treats in the goody bags: The Lighthouse Restaurant, Fisher's Gin, Adnams, Aldeburgh Botanics and Norfolk Natural Living. And to all the local businesses who kindly donated raffle prizes.
