Fashion Show
Once again the Futurity 2012 Fashion Show will be featuring a diverse collection of alpaca garments from a wide range of both British designers and from those overseas.
Run during the Saturday evening Reception, this is a wonderful and colourful opportunity to see some stunning designs using alpaca fibre in knitted, woven and felted garments.
The show is designed, directed and produced by a professional team from the University of Huddersfield Art, Design and Fashion and will showcase a British only section featuring garments created and made by UK designers.
The Futurity invites all British designers wishing to make an entry for this opportunity to display their garments on professional models down the runway, to complete the application within the forms section.
Reception and Evening Celebration Dinner
The culmination of the 2012 British Alpaca Futurity will take place on the evening of Saturday 17th March in the Kings Suite of the Hilton Metropole Hotel, located on the NEC site.
This is a black tie/smart dress code event starting with a Reception followed by the Fashion Show presentation, Celebration Dinner, Prize Draw, Select Auction and presentation of awards. Price per ticket £75 plus VAT.
Table reservations will be by advance ticket only. Tables will be limited to ten place settings and for those wishing to book space on behalf of clients must do so and pay at the time of booking to ensure such clients will be seated at their tables.
Booking forms are within the forms section of this website.
Futurity Catalogue Advertising
Alpaca Breeders and Trades are invited to book advertising space within the Futurity Catalogue.
The Futurity catalogue will be mailed to over 1000 targeted alpaca owners throughout the UK, mainland Europe, Australia and USA. It will also be available on the door for the duration of the event. This is an excellent way to not only show your support for the alpaca industry and the Futurity show, but to place your farm or trade name in front of a targeted alpaca audience.
Competitive pricing is available to those booking early. Please either complete the enquiry form or e-mail
