More than 900 people in fancy dress gathered to raise money for Cancer Research at The Hubs. The Hallam University Student Union building on Paternoster Row played host to Sheffield's biggest Fancy Dress Ball in April 2013 and the revellers certainly went to town on their costumes.
Michele France, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997, organised her first fancy dress ball with her sister-in-law Barbara in 2000. By 2018 they had raised an amazing £90,000 for breast cancer research.
