Textiles Through Time Guided Tour
Thursday 4th & 11th September, 2-3pm
This guided tour tells the story of textiles through time and how they influenced ways we have lived from the 1600s to the present day and beyond. Through our period rooms and collection displays, we will explore the history of textiles in the home through fabrics, soft furnishings, and the stories they tell about craft, industry, global trade and the role textiles have played in advancing technology. From craftspeople working from home to high-end British design, this tour aims to illuminate the often-overlooked history of textiles, the people who make them and the influence of textiles on daily life.
