IMMERSE yourself in inspiration for luxury gifts for friends and family, with catwalk displays, a selection of exclusive local suppliers, a glass of bubbles on arrival and the chance to win an Eco Children's Playhouse worth over £300 at Simply Unique, Ledbury.

Launching on December 2, a host of local suppliers, chosen for their exclusive products that will appeal to a discerning gift buyer, will be on hand to demonstrate their current range and offer advice on the perfect present.

An exciting afternoon to be held at the Feathers Hotel in Ledbury, on arrival every guest will be welcomed with a glass of bubbly and a selection of nibbles which you can savour while you enjoy catwalk demonstrations at 2pm and 7pm and browse our shops.

The entire event is hosted in aid of the Children's Society, with a percentage from each ticket sale donated to the charity and entering each guest into the grand raffle supported by the exhibitors including an amazing Eco Children's Playhouse.

The event has been founded by Helena Smith, owner of Charleston Couture, locally based fashion designer producing of a range of country wear and equestrian competition garments using the finest quality fabrics and accessories. Helena said "Buying the right gift for our family and friends can be so difficult, and in a world of online shopping, there are very few opportunities to be inspired by lots of local suppliers, to see their products and the quality for yourself. Simply Unique is a new concept in shopping to give our guests the chance to view the great ranges on offer from carefully chosen local suppliers, and help you complete all your Christmas shopping in one place." She continued "The Children's Society is such a worthwhile charity and we feel that this is our chance to give back while having some fun".

Exhibitors include Charleston Couture, Hayley Hanson Hide, Debbie & Jilly lingerie, Hannah Davies bespoke tailoring, Tusk designs and Lynn Nutting artist.
