Fall for Pre-Loved: Thurs 22 (6.30 - 9pm)

The Royal Trinity Hospice charity shop at 785 Fulham Road, which has to be the most up market charity shop in our urban village, even more so after its recent refurb, is holding an event to showcase new autumn winter designer brands. The shop always has such lovingly curated and well thought out displays so it will be easy to peruse their range of best pre loved donations and items which have been donated by retailers such as Harrods, Hugo Boss, Anthropology etc

We’ve heard these £5 tickets, which include a complimentary drink and can be redeemed against a purchase, are already in hot demand. Head in store or to their website to buy (see link below).

Daniel Holloway, Director of Retail for Royal Trinity Hospice knows the chance to be the first through the door to buy exceptional donations will be a big draw for the environmentally conscious shopper and designer bargain hunters alike: “This will be a really exciting event for the team at our hugely successful Fulham branch and customers who want to find something really special but for a fraction of the price they would normally pay. ‘Fall for preloved’ is about showcasing some of the best donations we have received at the start of the season to kick off the new collection.”

Royal Trinity Hospice has twenty charity shops located across central and south west London, all playing a key role in helping raise the £11 million needed annually to supplement NHS funds to provide the hospice’s specialist palliative and end of life care.

Kenrick’s 1st Birthday: Thurs 29 (6 - 9pm)

We can’t believe Kenrick’s Wines are celebrating their first birthday on Thursday 29 September. Seems like only yesterday that we were writing up a piece about their opening for our “What’s New” section. Head to 275 Wandsworth Bridge Road for a mini wine festival, there’s a £12.50 entry fee (redeemable against a £40 spend on the night) and they’ll be nibbles, wine (of course), cocktails from Doghouse Distillery, whiskys from Pour and Patter and music to celebrate.
