This September, Blackrock’s Frascati Centre will host a three-day shopping event combining deep discounts on designer labels with fundraising for Breast Cancer Ireland. Expect a mix of new, showroom and pre‑loved pieces alongside food, late‑night shopping and special pop‑ups aimed at raising money for charity.
What shoppers will find
Organisers promise thousands of items from well‑known names and independent retailers, with discounts reaching up to 70% off RRP. Stock will include showroom samples, vintage and high‑quality everyday pieces aimed at refreshing autumn wardrobes without the full designer price tag.
Retailers confirmed to appear include Serena Boutique, Pamela Scott, Carl Scarpa and Soho Edit, with complementary partners such as The Clothing Agency, Desert Diamonds and ReRuns adding pre‑loved and circular fashion options.

Viva Frascati returns with designer deals, girly fun and a charitable twist
Lorraine Keane’s Fashion Relief will bring a notable collection to the sale: more than 3,000 donated designer and vintage items from private wardrobes, with all proceeds directed to Breast Cancer Ireland.
Friday evening takes centre stage
Friday night is set to be the liveliest session, with extended opening hours, on‑site dining and an atmosphere shaped by Frascati’s restaurants and retailers. Late shopping makes it easy to combine an evening out with bargains and socialising.
It’s positioned as an occasion for groups to meet up, try new pieces and enjoy food and drinks while browsing the stalls.
Shop, Save and Support
This year’s theme — Shop, Save and Support — reflects the dual aim of the event: great value for shoppers and meaningful funds for charity. ReRuns will operate a pop‑up during the weekend, alongside The Clothing Agency and a roster of fashion traders.
Beyond discounts, organisers stress the feel‑good aspect of buying pre‑loved items and supporting Breast Cancer Ireland through ticket and sale proceeds.
When and where
Viva Frascati runs from 25–27 September, 10am–6pm, at Frascati Centre, Blackrock. Visitors should expect a busy venue across the three days, particularly on Friday evening.
Tickets are also available for a Rebecca Storm appearance during the event; demand is reported to be high.
Whether you go for the designer finds or the vintage gems, the weekend is built around shopping with a purpose and an atmosphere that encourages lingering over lunch, coffee and conversation.
