Faith meets fashion at 'ideal church show'

Yorkshire clergy will take to the catwalk at a unique show in Harrogate in October. The Northern Christian Resources Exhibition (CRE), which comes to the Yorkshire Event Centre for the first time this Autumn (19-21 October), will host Faith 'n' Fashion, a special presentation highlighting work of leading Christian designers. Vestments, choir gowns and leisure wear will be on display, along with fair trade, ethical and environmentally-friendly clothing. The Northern Christian Resources Exhibition - often dubbed the 'ideal church show' - is expected to attract some 5,000 people to the Yorkshire Event Centre. Everything from computers to communion wine, chalices to children's charities, pilgrimages to pews will be featured among some 150 exhibitors. While hundreds of clergy of all denominations visit the show, four out of five visitors will be 'ordinary' church members. For more information visit: www.creonline.co.uk
