This October, Astra Collective invites you to Aurora — a magic masquerade ball, a night where creativity meets compassion and every look on the runway helps light up a child’s journey through cancer.

On Saturday 24 October 2026 at Central Hall, University of York, we’ll bring together emerging designers, student models, and performers for an immersive night of fashion, talks, and surprise performances that turn our runway into an experience to remember.

Following the success of last year’s Fuchsia and Equinox shows, which welcomed 700+ guests, showcased almost 50 designers, and raised £8,326.15 for charity, and highly commended for the Fundraiser of the Year, Aurora continues our mission to merge creativity with real impact. This year, we’re proud to support The Little Princess Trust, providing wigs, hats, and essential emotional support to children and young people facing cancer.

Behind every mask is a story. Behind every look is a child who deserves to feel confident and supported. Join us for a night of mystery, magic, and meaning, where fashion becomes a force for change and every ticket helps ensure no child faces cancer alone.
