TikTok fashion star designs bucket hat for Manchester exhibition event

Last month, The Yard Manchester and community interest company The Yard Atelier CIC launched Hats Off! – a one-of-a-kind fundraising competition, exhibition and auction raising money for The Christie Charity and local creative development.

In collaboration with acclaimed bag designer Edward De Lacy, Hats Off! Offers participants to design and make their own wild, unique bucket hats using a special pattern created by Edward himself. Every hat will be showcased at a daytime exhibition on Thursday 4 September at The Yard Manchester, followed by an evening DJ party and live charity auction.

Every Hats Off! entry will be linked to an individual fundraising page, with the creator who raises the most money receiving a very special prize of two AO Arena gig tickets, a one-night stay at City Suites, four tickets to a future Yard MCR gig, a £100 bar tab at The Yard and a limited-edition coloured Oasis vinyl worth £200. The winner will be announced via The Yard MCR social channels.

All Hats Off! participants will be entered into a raffle to win prizes that include tickets to see Oasis at Wembley on Saturday 27 September with free accommodation, limited edition Oasis vinyl (worth up to £250), bar vouchers worth up to £150, and more surprises to be revealed.

Some of The Christie’s TYA (Teenage and Young Adult) patients created their own bucket hat competition entries at The Yard recently.
