50 of Britain’s most loved celebrities have teamed up with Daphne’s in a spectacular way to celebrate 50 extraordinary years. Each person has been asked to design a bespoke Venetian mask that will go on display in the restaurant. Proudly representing Daphne’s Italian heritage, the specially created Venetian masks will be displayed and then sold to diners, with all proceeds of the sales going toward Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
Should you wish to purchase a mask, please notify a member of Daphne’s staff who will take your name and contact details, and will be in touch at the end of the exhibition. Should you be the only person to request the desired mask, it will be sold to you at the starting price of £250. However, should there be multiple requests, a member of staff will be in contact to discuss a silent auction, with priority placed on the first customer to record their interest in the mask.

An impressive list of global celebrities, including Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Wayne Rooney, Jessie J, Sarah Jessica Parker and Tinie Tempah are supporting Matalan’s Christmas charity campaign by modelling their new Alphabet Scarves in aid of Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
The famous personalities, as well as patrons, ambassadors and patients of Alder Hey, have shown their support for the campaign by wearing the scarves with their initial displayed as a collegiate style appliqué letter.
Jason Hargreaves, Managing Director at Matalan, said: “Family is at the heart of everything we do at Matalan so a partnership with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital was a perfect fit for us.
“We’re extremely excited to be working on such a special project together this Christmas that will help us to raise much needed funds for the hospital whilst offering our customers a perfect gift for their loved ones.”
The Alphabet Scarves, which have also been modelled by the likes of Helen Mirren, Rod Stewart, Tinie Tempah and Bruce Forsyth, are on sale in Matalan stores across the UK and online at Matalan.
They are priced at GBP 10 and GBP 5 for children, with 100% of profits going straight to the children’s hospital.
