Wedding dresses donated to Machynlleth charity shops have helped raise over £1,000 for the Severn Hospice shop.

A wedding fayre, featuring upcycled wedding dresses donated to charity shops across the town, took place on 9 March at Y Plas.

The event hosted local retail charities selling wedding dresses and other occasion wear, wedding accessories, vintage crockery and more.

There was a fashion show at the event and a raffle to raise money for the Severn Hospice shop in Machynlleth.

Nicola Burgess from the shop, who organised the event, said: “The wedding fayre went very well considering we were competing with the rugby!

“The raffle alone raised £1,000 for Severn Hospice and the shop stall on the day did about £70.”
