A national beauty pageant is set to be held at a Bolton venue next month.
Miss Swimsuit UK will be held at Element 51 on Nelson Square on Saturday, June 29.
The women’s fashion brand, Miss Swimsuit, is a glitzy and glamorous swimsuit store.
Each year it holds a competition to crown the annual UK 'Miss Swimsuit'.
This year, it will be held in Bolton, at former nightclub-turned event space, Element 51.
As well as the competition, the space will also hold a ticketed after-party with DJs spinning vocal house and dance classics.
Owner, Simon Kaden-Smith said: "A friend of mine runs that competition, she looked all over the country and wanted the right space to do the final in.

"It was booked in for another venue but she had to cancel it there, she came over and looked at this place and was in love with it, she said it was perfect for how she wanted it to be, such as a space for the runway for the girls.
"It is a huge competition, and she has done it for a long, long time.
"It is a very high class event, not cheap and tacky. It is not just girls running around in bathing suits. Their brand is very strong."
He added: "We will be very selective about who we let in. There will also be an after-party, which is a public event, it is ticketed and there will be a very strict policy on the door.
"These girls are influencers and models."

This comes after Element 51 announced earlier this month that it will stop operating as a nightclub, instead being transformed into an events space.
It opened as a club in April last year, but will now be used for ticketed events such as bottomless brunches, musical bingo nights and sport screenings, as well as private events like Bar Mitzvahs.
The venue will also boast a new pizza kitchen, as well as an updated sound system and light setup.
