What can I expect?

This exciting evening is centred around an exclusive 30-minute fashion show, featuring some of Ellie Sanderson’s most exclusive designer brands. Ellie has two studios, one in Beaconsfield and the other in Woodstock. Both are incredibly popular with brides from across the country and feature looks from iconic, bridal designers.

All guests will be welcomed with drinks and canapés provided by Rackleys’ fantastic caterers, Absolute Cuisine, before taking their seats for the show. After the show there will be a raffle and auction to help raise more money for The Pink Ribbon Foundation. There will also be the chance to meet with British bridal icon, Suzanne Neville, in person and book to see her the following weekend (23rd October) in Ellie’s Beaconsfield studio.

VIP appearances 

Suzanne Neville, one of Ellie’s favourite designers and friend, is the VIP guest for the evening. 

She will be showcasing a special part of the runway, featuring some of her iconic designs mixed with some of her new 2022 bridal collection. Suzanne is one of the UK’s top bridal designers, renowned for her legendary design and fit, and designs dresses for many of the UK’s favourite TV stars and celebrities. Tess Daly, Amanda Holden and Katherine Jenkins are amongst her fabulous client list.

About the Venue

Rackleys Chiltern Hills dates back to 1730 and is the most perfect venue for this luxury occasion. The beautiful pendant lights and fairy lights wrapped around the ancient beams, are among some of the exquisite features of the barn that help to make it an idyllic location for our catwalk show, and for the most exclusive weddings. The gardens have been beautifully planted and maintained and the views are to die for.

While Rackleys is newly opened, it oozes history and character and makes a perfect venue for weddings and special corporate events. 

Why Pink Ribbon Foundation?

Ellie Sanderson and Rackleys met just a few months ago and it was then they hatched their wonderful idea. Both Ellie and the Rackleys’ team were driven by a vision to host a wonderful charity event to raise money for breast cancer care and research. Breast cancer is something that has touched both these businesses and their teams, so they set out to find the right breast cancer charity. They chose The Pink Ribbon Foundation – a fantastic charity where all the proceeds are used to carefully support sufferers of this disease.

The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a grant-making trust, with a mission to fund projects and provide financial support to UK charities which relieve the needs of people who are suffering from, have been affected by breast cancer, or who work to advance the understanding of breast cancer and its early detection and treatment. All of this adds up to one incredible evening not to be missed and, with a limited number of tickets available, fast booking is essential.
