Big City Fashion Show

The spotlight is on style this autumn as the Big City Fashion Show, brought to you by Lincoln BIG, takes centre stage at The Drill, Lincoln, on Thursday, October 9. 

The event will spotlight the latest autumn/winter collections from some of Lincoln’s well-known high street and independent fashion retailers, celebrating the city’s diverse, creative, and ever-evolving style scene.

Guests can expect menswear, womenswear, and kidswear, from casual staples to bridalwear and statement pieces for the season ahead. With 19 local retailers taking part — including Next, New Look, Top to Bottom, Cavani (pictured), Coneys, Todds, Agatha’s, and St Barnabas focusing on sustainable fashion, the show promises a fashion-forward evening full of inspiration and community spirit.

Lincoln BIG has partnered with Lincoln College to offer hands-on experience for students across key roles such as hair and makeup, technical production, styling, and backstage coordination. It’s a rare chance for aspiring young creatives to gain real-world insight and contribute to a high-profile city event.

“Lincoln has been missing an event like this, something that brings together fashion, creativity, and community in the heart of the city,” said Danielle, Relationship & Operations Manager at Lincoln BIG. 

“The Big City Fashion Show is about more than just clothes, it’s about giving local talent a platform, celebrating inclusivity, and showcasing the incredible style and retail offering we have right here in Lincoln.”

The evening will be hosted by Sarah-Jane Honeywell, TV and radio presenter, who is also supporting the event through her company, Curious Theatre School sponsors of the show.
