Green Shoots Upcycled Fashion Show

Entry £10 for Adults, £5 for Years 6-13 (aged up to 19)

This London Fashion Week (Thursday 20 – Monday 24 February 2025), we’ve decided to bring a slice of style to the heart of Uckfield!

We celebrate all things fashion and upcycling by bringing you the inaugural Green Shoots Upcycled Fashion Show.

Championing items that have been loved in the past and bringing them back to their glorious best, this show offers an environmentally friendly twist to your traditional fashion show.

What’s more, we will be giving a platform to the talent of young local creatives as we host three categories, with school years 6-9 and 10-13 having their own categories, alongside an adult category.

Here are the rules of the show:

One entry per person
Entry for Years 6-13 is £5; adult entry (19+) is £10 – the entry fee includes one spectator ticket
Further spectator tickets can be purchased for £5
Entrants can model, or can choose another person to model for them
All entrants must supply proof of purchase from a charity shop for the core of their outfit. Entrants may purchase new items for trimming and accessorizing.

Prizes on offer in each category are a 1st prize of £75; 2nd prize of £50; and 3rd prize of £25 (in vouchers).

There is one Grand Prize of £100 cash.

Judges will include Jade Earley, who was a runner-up in the Great British Sewing Bee and attended Uckfield College.

All profits will go to a local family support charity, Family2Family and winning entries will go on display at the Civic Centre on Saturday, 22 February.

To enter, or to book a ticket as a spectator, please purchase the relevant ticket from our booking system below. Please also contact will@uckfieldtc.gov.uk to inform the organisers of your intention to enter.
