Talks, Tours & Study Visits

Study Visits

Allowing people access to our fantastic collection is an important part of our work. We take bookings for groups and individuals to study the collection for research or on guided study visits led by our Curator.

Talks

We have a programme of talks about the collection that we can deliver in person at avenue of your choice or online. Talks can be booked any day of the week for daytime or evening, but are subject to staff availability.

We currently have thirteen different talks for you to choose from; each focusing on different themes such as the story of Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth or specific areas of the collection including embroidery, patchwork, lace, costume and accessories.

You can also purchase and view recordings of some of our previous online talks through the on demand area of our shop.
