Manchester bridal shop selling wedding dresses worn by Coronation Street stars Kym Marsh & Jane Danson

A Greater Manchester charity shop is offering soap fans the chance to bring a unique twist to their wedding day - by selling dresses worn on Coronation Street.

Corrie’s costume department makes regular donations to the St Ann’s Hospice’s Bridal and Vintage Store in Stockport when the clothing is no longer needed for its stars on the famous cobbles.

They have many wedding dresses on sale which have been worn by actresses on the soap. Currently in the shop window, there are gowns worn by Kym Marsh, whose feisty character Michelle Connor wed in 2018, and Catherine Tyldesley, who played scheming Eva Price til 2017.

There is also a Monsoon dress worn by Jane Danson while playing stalwart character Leanne Battersby.

The charity shop also sells dresses which have only been worn once or are brand new and have been donated by bridal boutiques, to help raise funds for two St Ann’s Hospices in Heald Green, Stockport and Little Hulton, Salford.

Jules Lamb, acting manager at the Bridal and Vintage store, says: “We know people love to recycle and be more environmentally conscious, so we love to support this to make sure our brides get dresses that are in excellent condition and are second hand. The money paid for each dress is so important in donating to and supporting St Ann’s Hospice which helps many people in Greater Manchester with end-of-life care.”

How do I get a dress?

The shop has appointments for fittings all day from Tuesday to Saturday, with the shop also catering for mother of the bride and bridesmaids and accessories , with a recommended local seamstress.

It says the dresses are all in excellent condition and at reasonable prices, with lots of designers included.
