The Bodies and Co Fashion Show returns to the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington Spa for two nights on Thursday 16 April and Friday 17 April 2026. This long-running community event showcases clothing from 17 retailers, including both national chains and local independent shops, to support local charitable causes.

The production features 54 models, 12 dancers, three singers, and nine choreographers who have spent nine weeks in rehearsals. Nearly 1,500 tickets are available across the two evenings, and the event is currently on track to sell out.

The show is led by director Jenni Fuller, who launched the event in 1979. Over more than four decades, the show has raised more than £500,000 for charity, including £16,000 during the 2025 event alone. In recognition of her charitable work, Ms Fuller was appointed a Warwickshire ChangeMaker by High Sheriff Karen Lynch in 2025.

Proceeds from this year’s show will benefit three organisations. These include The Esther Project, which supports women facing challenges such as domestic abuse, addiction, or homelessness; The Friendship Project for Children, a charity that matches disadvantaged children with volunteer befrienders; and The Samaritans, which provides suicide prevention support. Tickets for the event can be purchased through TicketSource.
