Dressing Up Regency Style with hats, bonnets, reticules and scarves

We've recently added a new section to the exhibition where we allow our visitors the opportunity to dress up using Regency bonnets, top hats, shawls, fans, reticules and parasols. As you would imagine, it is going down very well and everyone is having a lot of fun. When you visit, you must try it yourself.

Our friendly staff are always on hand to offer tips and advice on how to wear the various bonnets and accessories. They will also offer to take your photo on your own camera if you wish. The staff will also suggest good places to stand to get that authentic shot. This is proving an extremely popular part of the exhibition and we intend to increase the quantity of items to try on to include various dresses and spencer jackets. There are often hoots of delight as our visitors have fun posing in front of the full length mirror or in front of one of our Regency displays
