Buyers visiting Harrogate Fashion Week (HFW) this season can celebrate the launch of SS25 by raising their glasses at two separate events at the show’s venue.
Following its first day, buyers and exhibitors are invited to a free drinks party – courtesy of HFW organisers – in the Convention Centre’s Fashion Café. Then, on the evening of Monday 5 August, attendees will also be able to let their hair down at a ticketed exhibition party inside The Conservatory.
Taking place from 7:30pm, guests will receive a reception drink, three-course dinner with wine as well as coffee and petit fours followed by dancing until late: “We’ve moved the exhibition party to a different venue this season and there will be a sit-down dinner followed by a disco,” says director Wendy Adams. “All buyers and exhibitors are invited to join us to celebrate the new season. Both the exhibition drinks party on the Sunday night and ticketed event on the Monday evening are a great way for everyone to get together and network in an informal setting and have a brilliant time.” (Tickets cost £66 + VAT per person; E: Kirsty@harrogatefashionweek.com to secure a space).
Now in its eleventh season, HFW returns to the spa town’s Convention Centre from 4 – 6 August with its “biggest show to date”. Buyers will find more than 250 exhibitors across four halls for three full days of retail inspiration and product sourcing.
