The host of TV One's Kiwi Kitchen will rustle up dishes in a 1950s-style electric-powered kitchen, to be set up inside the army's Family Store, in Industrial Pl.
Tickets are $15 per person and went on sale in all Wakatipu army outlets this week.
The audience will be capped at 100 and all proceeds will go to the Salvation Army.
Operations manager Glenda Patience invited Mr Till to cook at a shop for the first time, after reading an article he wrote about preparing meals with his family using yesteryear kitchenware in their crib last summer.
Miss Patience said the Family Store received a lot of crockery, tins and cast iron pots and pans dating back to the 1950s and Mr Till would put them to good use.
His cuisine would be offered to spectators and the items might be auctioned.
"It's to show people can come to us and set up their kitchen and it doesn't cost a fortune," Miss Patience said.
Family Store manager Nathan Baxter said residents upgraded their kitchenware and gave older utensils to the army stores regularly, but Richard will demonstrate that the quality of older utensils is just as good, if not better, and cheaper".
