In February Sue Ryder V&R in Leicester held a hugely successful ‘Lock-in’ event which raised £520 in aid of their charity. The night commenced with a champagne entrance and Chuck Berry; not to mention endless slices of homemade cake. Ticket holders were then given pampering Indian head massages followed by professional make-up and hair sessions, all in the classic 1940s panache. Jordan’s hair salon were superb hosting hair and beauty at their salon opposite the shop. LUSH came along and provided ‘lush’ arm massages- it all felt, smelt and looked a beautiful experience.
As the store was exclusively open to 22 customers, it gave style advisors time to focus all their attention to assisting individuals with their style needs and requirements.
Sue Ryder’s lock-in was sponsored by many high-street shops and luxury gift companies including LUSH, P&W gifts, Boots, Bodyshop and Costa who donated many treats for the customers. At the modest price of £12, customers were really getting more than their money’s worth. Georie Tansell, store manager of Sue Ryder was ecstatic with the results and said ‘the evening was a super success, we raised vital funds for the charity and everybody had a fantastic time!’. This is not the first time Sue Ryder V&R Leicester has smashed it out of the vintage water fund raising. The first vintage lock-in last November was an enormous success and prompting many more, the vintage lock in was back by popular demand. 
They offer an exciting decadent and social event that is becoming rather popular, with tickets selling out. The future looks great for the vintage lock in and they have big plans for the next event which will be on Thursday 25th April. Sue Ryder has lots of new innovative ideas, including an exclusive webpage dedicated to the Vintage lock-in, which is currently under construction – we will keep you posted on the developments. The ticket numbers available for purchase will be increased, making the upcoming event bigger and almost certainly better!
The vintage lock in targets a wide audience, ranging from teens to the sophisticated middle aged. Sue Ryder V&R wishes to make everybody who comes along to feel comfortable, fully enjoy the evening and to feel good about themselves, make new friends and be pampered and spoilt along the way!
