WHO’S READY TO GET DAPPER & DOLLED UP?
This one is for the whole family. For 2027, the Franklin Hop is taking a trip back to the 1950s, and we want to see families dressing up, having fun and getting involved together.
Mum, Dad, the kids, Grandma, Grandad bring everyone along and create your own 1950s family look.
Think poodle skirts, cat-eye glasses, leather jackets, rolled-up denim, bowling shirts and a little Brylcreem.
Three categories: Mr Dapper Ms Dolled Up Junior Dapper & Dolled Up under 18s.
You can enter individually, but why not make it a family affair?
Raid the wardrobe, raid Grandma’s cupboard and get the whole crew involved.
