St. Ann's Hospice Bridal Fair

St Ann’s Hospice, based in Greater Manchester aims to improve the quality of life of people living with life-threatening illnesses, whilst supporting their families and carers. They have an extensive bridal department offering a fantastic selection of brand new, end of line and “pre-loved� wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and accessories – perfect for any blushing bride. And for the next two weeks St. Ann's is holding its annual bridal fair.

“It is a well known fact that weddings cost a fortune these days and if a bride wants to look her best this often means spending an equally hefty sum on a dress,� says manager of St Ann’s Hospice charity shop, Christine Hampson.

However, buying that perfect dress does not have to mean taking out a second mortgage; at St Ann’s Charity Shop in Cheadle, brand new end-of-line dresses which have been donated by local bridal shops will start at just £50.

“The quality of the bridal wear we receive is incredible. Many of the dresses that are given to us still have the original price tag on,� continues Christine. “We had one lady in last week who had heard about the dresses that we had in stock and looked us up on the internet. Word is obviously starting to spread that an affordable dress for that special day really does exist!�

The Bridal Fair will run for two weeks at St Ann’s Cheadle Charity Shop and will provide this year’s brides-to-be with a one-stop shop for bridal wear, headdresses, shoes and even bridesmaid dresses. But don't worry if you can't make it during that time - the Bridal Department is there all year round!
