Barnsley’s Town Centre Fashion Show
On Saturday 23 April Barnsley town centre will host its very own fashion show, with professional models showcasing the latest seasonal trends from a variety of retailers in a unique event.
Choreographed routines will be performed in front of stores in The Glass Works, including River Island, Next, USC, Sports Direct and JD Sports. Similar performances will also be taking place in The Alhambra Shopping Centre as well as independent businesses across the town centre including Frank Bird, 80s Casual Classics, Closet Queen and Labels For Less.

B Inspired Fashion Exhibit
If you believe that you are a trendsetter when it comes to fashion, there is an opportunity for you to get involved in an exciting new exhibition ‘B Inspired’.
We have been on the lookout for Barnsley’s best dressed to strut their stuff at professional photoshoots in pop-up studios across the town centre.
Over the past two weeks, professional photographer Timm Cleasby has been capturing street style inspired images of those who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd. The most inspirational images will be selected and transformed into life-size cutouts that will be exhibited in The Glass Works Square from Saturday 23 to Saturday 30 April.
T-Shirt Exhibition
In collaboration with The Civic, a T-shirt Cult / Culture / Subversion exhibition featuring exceptional surviving pieces customised by Westwood and McLaren will also be on display in The Glass Works until the end of May.
