Ashbourne Big Fashion Day Out 6th September, following the huge success of last year’s inaugural event which attracted hundreds of visitors into the town and generated widespread positive publicity for Ashbourne businesses and the wider town centre.
Anne Wright, Chair of Ashbourne Town Team, said:
“These events are about far more than simply putting on entertainment. They are about creating pride, energy and confidence in Ashbourne and making full use of the fantastic new Market Place space that has been created through the regeneration programme.
“We want Ashbourne to be known as a vibrant, welcoming and creative town which supports local businesses and gives people reasons to visit, stay longer and enjoy everything the town has to offer.
“There has been a huge effort from local volunteers, businesses and organisations to help make these events happen and we are incredibly grateful for all the support being shown across the community.”
Organisers are now encouraging local traders, hospitality businesses and community organisations to get involved, support the events and make the most of the increased visitor numbers expected throughout the summer.
Sponsorship opportunities, stallholder enquiries and volunteer support are also being welcomed.
Tickets for the Ashbourne Dog Day Out show classes will be available to purchase on the day, with advance tickets also available from Henmores in Ashbourne and Peak Village.
Further details about all summer events can be found on the “What’s On” pages of the Discover Ashbourne website and through participating businesses’ social media channels over the coming weeks.
