This year, throughout the month of June, Topshop will be hosting Topshop Bandstand Picnics for Teenage Cancer Trust.
A string of gloriously unique outdoor picnic events in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust featuring the cream of the new musical crop performing in the loveliest green spaces in London, Bristol, Liverpool and Birmingham. T4’s Miquita Oliver will be hosting the Liverpool Bandstand Picnic.
On June 19th in the lush environs of Stanley Park, there will be a mix of white hot musicians and DJ’s playing live to raise money and awareness for Teenage Cancer Trust amongst the nation’s youth, all of whom have very generously donated their time for the shows.
Musicians such as Welsh indie popsters Los Campesinos!,rapidly ascendant pop-rockers I Blame Coco, hotly tipped dream Summer Camp and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Blue Roses.
Party vanguards Blonde Ambition, Zuton saxophonist Abi Harding with Candie Payne and buzz band of the moment Egyptian Hip Hop will all be on DJ duty.
The music, however, is only part of the equation, with the surrounding locale transformed into a classic, picnic style playground, complete with Native Faces providing festival face decoration with Topshop Make Up, Sk8 House roller skate hire, and sports day games such as wang a welly, egg and spoon, and sack races with special prizes up for grabs.
Attendees will pack up a picnic and bring along their Neon Rose picnic blanket that is available in-store when you spend £60 or more.
As well as this there will be the opportunity to chill out in the sun-shade area, complete with sun-cream samples.
There will also be Vitamin Water and LOLA’s cupcakes on sale with all profits donated to the charity, as well as one-off Topshop/ Teenage Cancer Trust rain ponchos, which will be on sale with all the proceeds going back to the charity, all of which will combine to make these events completely unmissable in their own right.
Further to this, the Bandstand Picnic events will be branching out into selected stores from the 9th - 13th June and 16th – 20th June.
The Liverpool branch is one of the stores selected and will be playing host to live DJ sets, daily raffles, in-store competitions as well as a limited edition giveaway of a specially designed picnic blanket.
Also supporting both the picnics and in-store activity for Teenage Cancer Trust will be a bespoke collection produced exclusively for the charity.
Pieces, which are available now, include a kaftan, headband, summer bag and friendship bracelets all reflecting the summer trends with exclusive bright, fun prints, with a percentage of sales going to Teenage Cancer Trust.
Commenting on the Teenage Cancer Trust Abi Harding & Candie Payne say:
“We have both lost close people to us through cancer, as do millions of people around the world. So to us and many others it is a very important cause to support.”
Tickets will be sold for the event in the Liverpool, Church Street Topshop store, at a cost of £10 each. With all of the proceeds going back to Teenage Cancer Trust.
