Introductory tour of the ‘Fashion in the Time of Anne Lister’ exhibition with Curator, Elinor Camille-Wood. Discover fascinating 1830s dresses, with supersized sleeves, intricate patterned designs, flamboyant bonnets, wonderful waistcoats and lots more!

The exhibition will allow you to discover how it feels to wear an 1830s day dress with our new trying on outfit, and learn what ladies wore under their gowns to create these flamboyant shapes.
