GLITZ AND GLAMOUR LUNCH

Parents, Corporate Partners, local business people and a wide array of friends of Bishop Vesey attended the BVGS Glitz and Glamour Lunch at Moor Hall Hotel & Spa. A fantastic sum of approximately £5,000 was raised to enhance the extra-curricular opportunities of our students which exceeded our target and is the best Annual Lunch outcome so far. An annual fixture in the School’ s calendar, the event has waited two years to resume and all guests were glad to re-connect and donate generously for our good cause.

Guests enjoyed browsing across about 20 pop-up stalls drawn from many local businesses. Products ranged from The Tasty Lawyer Indian cookery courses & spice kits; Hunnypotcottage artisan bread, pasta, starter kits and courses; Neals Chocolates; Cheese Cavern local cheeses; bespoke Brierley screen prints; skincare/beauty products; Tina Kelsall Jewellery; Body Bangles; Buzzard Valley wine and gin sets; Naturally Lovely artisan soaps; Imperfectly perfect candles/wax melts; Keen & Son handcrafted pens; Tracey McCluskey Book Art; Resin Designs by Nadine; clothes from Obsessions Boutique; Frames that Sparkle and Gifts to You a wide range of independent contemporary art, crafts and interior design accessories from Helen Simone and Andrea Gregory.

Irwin Mitchell Solicitors sponsored the event and Moor Hall Hotel & Spa hosted the lunch and the support of both our Corporate Partners is extremely valuable. Heidi Middleton owner of Obsessions Boutique provided substantial support as always and drew from former parents and friends of the school to model a range of daytime and evening outfits.

Harry Hubbleday and George Wylie, two of our L6th Interns, represented the school superbly as did the accomplished four-piece ensemble comprising Matthew Whitehouse, James Foxall, Alex Dixon and Julianne Peralta who treated our guests to a professional programme of festive music throughout the day.
