The Good, The Bag and The Ugly: De-tour
Join us for a guided tour with a difference! Discover the unexpected and intriguing stories behind the bags on display in our featured exhibition Carried Away: Bags Unpacked.
The bags themselves are a visual feast, but we've dug deeper and fallen down rabbit-holes to bring you the bigger picture of the life and times of these popular accessories. We guarantee that the De-tour stories start with bags, but who knows where we may end up?
De-tours are thirsty work and so they will conclude with a Devonshire tea at our 1929 cafe.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 10 - 11 and 17 - 18 August. Bookings essential.
