The theme running through the event was design, with a high profile fashion show featuring the latest trends from local designers. Wayne Hemingway, co-founder of London-based design company Red or Dead, was the keynote speaker. Even the car park itself fitted the bill, having recently been awarded at RIBA national architectural award for its contemporary design features.

Guests were greeted by Formula One models waving chequered flags, and there was an interactive Scalextric game on offer alongside a display of luxury supercars. Other entertainment included stilt walkers, fire jugglers and acrobatic roller-bladers, all provided by charity Greentop Circus.
