Olympic gold medallists James Cracknell and Tim Foster will be joining fashion designers and hairdressers in Oxfordshire next month to raise money for charity.

The two rowers, along with Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent, made up the coxless four which won in Sydney last month. They will be compering a fashion evening which organisers hope will raise more than 4,000 for Cancer Research.

Ten hair designers, six fashion designers and two boutiques will be represented at the event, at the Oast House bar, Greys Road, Henley-on-Thames on Thursday, November 9.

Tickets for the shows, which start at 7.45pm and 9pm, cost 20 and include Champagne and a buffet. They are available from the Oast House.
