The May Fair 2018 bridging the imaginary gap between disabled and able people……
Unlike ‘Florals for Spring’ The May Fair & BBS Mix Concert are groundbreaking! An all day event and pop-up that celebrates spring with inclusive design, music and products.
At Charlie Allen Bespoke
1 Coopers Yard, London N1 1RX
Starting with the launch of the ADDITION Collection – empowering effortless independence and style in any environment. The day will have presentations of stylish, inclusive products and experiences that make a positive difference to people’s lives. There will also be the official launch of DRINK the inclusive glass holder for people who have their hands full, developed with support from the Design Council.
This event will culminate with a celebratory concert, The BBS MIX, (you can see what happened in 2017 here). Proceeds support a bursary for disabled musicians at The Royal Academy of Music. Always a lively affair, now in its 4th year, it will feature world class musicians & a mix of genres & able/disabled musicians. Donations will be taken for drinks provided at the bar. In 2017 we raised £1000+ to help musicians with disabilities explore and improve their talents.
