Hull-based cake business Elliegantly Made is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a night of live music, fun and fundraising.
A Decade of Cake & Kindness, taking place on Saturday 20th September 2025, is a special charity night in support of the Respiratory Clinical Trials Unit at Castle Hill Hospital, which carries out vital research into chronic lung conditions like IPF, COPD and asthma.
Founder of Elliegantly Made, Ellie Birch, said: “It’s a cause that means the world to us, especially after Ray (the other half of Elliegantly Made) was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) in 2020. Thanks to the incredible work of the team at Castle Hill, Ray is now part of a pioneering clinical trial and this event is our way of saying thank you.
“Celebrating 10 years of Elliegantly Made this way feels really special. Bringing together music, friends, cake and fundraising for a cause so personal is just perfect. Hull has such a wealth of talent and I’m thrilled we can showcase it all in one unforgettable night.”
Headlining the event is Rapture, Hull’s renowned party band, more often seen touring the UK and Europe than performing locally. The line-up includes lead singer and percussionist Lianna Webber, drummer and vocalist Simon Stevens, multi-instrumentalist Rich Banks and newest member Bryn Abbott.
Simon said: “We can’t wait to play at Elliegantly Made’s anniversary. Ellie and her team have supplied us with cakes plenty of times over the years, so this really feels like a full-circle moment. We’re delighted to be part of such a special night at the Lexington and to be helping raise funds for an incredible cause.”
Also performing is local favourite Steve James, a singer with more than 25 years’ experience and a strong regional following.
The evening will be hosted by Elliegantly Made founder Ellie Birch who’ll be stepping back into her old role as singer-compère for the night. Guests can expect live music, raffles, auctions, a light supper, and of course, plenty of cake.
A Decade of Cake & Kindness will take place at the Lexington Rooftop Bar & Terrace, DoubleTree by Hilton Hull, on Saturday 20th September 2025.
Tickets are £15, which includes a light supper. For more information and to book, please email enquiries@elliegantlymade.co.uk or call Ellie on 07939 176001. You can find out more here: elliegantlymade.co.uk/10-years-in-business
