FB Fashion Ball Set to Bring Glamour and Purpose to Manchester
23rd April 2026, 3:25 pm
Manchester’s vibrant fashion and creative scene is set to welcome an exciting new event this summer, as the FB Fashion Ball prepares to make its highly anticipated debut in the city.
Taking place on Thursday 25th June at the prestigious The Lowry Hotel, the event promises an unforgettable evening of style, energy and glamour. With a vision inspired by the spectacle of the Met Gala and the star power of the Brit Awards, the FB Fashion Ball aims to deliver a bold and unique experience unlike anything currently in Manchester.
The event is being launched with the support of pro-manchester’s CEO Sam Booth, whose backing is set to play a key role in establishing the initiative within the city’s business and creative communities. Their involvement marks a significant step in building strong local connections, particularly as the organiser is not based full-time in Manchester.
Despite its global reputation for creativity and influence, especially within fashion, Manchester has yet to host an event of this kind. The FB Fashion Ball seeks to fill that gap, bringing together professionals, creatives and businesses to celebrate style while supporting meaningful causes.
At its core, the event blends fashion with fundraising. Professionals will take to the catwalk, modelling on behalf of their chosen charities or the event’s official charity partner, the Fashion Impact Foundation. The evening will also feature opportunities for brands and organisations to get involved through sponsorship, table bookings, catwalk partnerships, and exhibition spaces.
Building on the success of previous events, including highlights from Leeds’ First Direct Arena, the Manchester edition aims to create a more intimate yet impactful experience. With a carefully curated guest list and a focus on “the right people in the room,” organisers are keen to establish a strong foundation and generate lasting momentum.
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear: the FB Fashion Ball is set to inject fresh energy into Manchester’s events calendar, combining fashion, community and purpose in a truly memorable way.
